Nothing makes you feel quite like a prince and princess than a visit to a castle! Leeds Castle has been described by some as “The Loveliest Castle in the World” and when you visit, I’m sure you’ll be able to see why. Leeds Castle not only offers you an insight to the history behind it, but there are plenty of activities to partake in such as falconry displays, a maze and golf ground, and over 500 acres of beautiful gardens. They offer ferry and train rides around the grounds and have an abundance of wildlife for you to keep an eye out for. Make sure you check out what events are happening at Leeds Castle, because they host festivals, firework displays and open-air concerts depending on when you plan on visiting!
