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.
