Leeds Castle is ~ 42 miles southeast to London. It was built on an island in a small lake by River Len, in Kent, UK. It was first built in 857 AD, more than 1200 years ago. Lily and I went there with a tour group. The tour included stops at Leeds Castle, Dover and Canterbury. We liked Leeds Castle the most.
Leeds Castle is more than a Castle, it also has beautiful gardens, trails in the woods, sculptures scattered in many places. We only visited the Castle in some details, but not the surrounding areas due to tour bus schedule constraints.
The tour of the castle started with a narrated slide show giving a brief history of the Castle during King Edward I period. Then we went through the Castle room by room, as well atrium, basement. The last private owner of the castle was Lady Ballie, the decorations are mostly from her time at the castle.
The outside views are more interesting to us.
