Home to queens and kings of England as well as
an American millionairess with movie-star friends,
Leeds Castle has stood for centuries in Maidstone,
Kent. Today Leeds Castle is open to the public,
who are welcome to visit its restored rooms and
500 picture-perfect acres.
Set in a valley of the River Len in the heart
of the English countryside, Leeds Castle is a
thoroughly romantic location. The castle itself,
surrounded by the lake, is a treasure trove of
art, antiques, and history.
Leeds Castle's history includes romance and intrigue,
conflict and majesty. Although Edward I, Edward
III, Richard II, and Henry V all held court at
Leeds Castle, it has long been known as a ladies'
castle.
