Review of Leeds Castle

Leeds Castle is truly a magical place. The ground...

Leeds Castle is truly a magical place. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. The walk from the entrance to the castle allows you to meet the residents of Leeds castle, the swans, ducks, geese, peacocks, and other beautiful birds. When you get the castle you start your tour in the cellar and walk your way up. There are audio guides as well as paper guides. Once you tour the castle you can pop into one the restaurants. All have delicious food, though if you want a Sunday roast, make sure to get there early as it tends to sell out quickly. Towards the other side of the grounds is maze which leads to the grotto. The maze is really fun and has clues to ensure you don t get too lost. There are also lovely playgrounds in the shape of a castle so the kids can have let off some steam and have a great run around. When the kids are done playing you can catch the swan boat to bring you to the train car so it walking will be minimal.
