Beautiful surroundings including a maze and a huge green area where all kind of birds are welcoming the tourists. The castle has got plenty of rooms well furnished in different moments of its history and owners. It's worth it!!
Go to the maze! The rest is awesome, but the maze has a secret that was absolutely breathtaking!
Had a great time going round the castle even if it was raining
My favourite castle is 900 this year!! These flowers and loads more until Thursday this week!!
Beautiful grounds and castle. Always a lovely day out. Great for everyone of any age.
Very nice. It isn't huge and it was updated/remodeled in the 20th century. We spent a lovely 1.5 hour there. I'm sure there is more to explore but we didn't have the time.
My wife and I spent a wonderful afternoon here despite on and off rain. The staff were exceptionally friendly many being local volunteers, they love the place so much. Don't be afraid to talk to them their knowledge is free and they know so many snippets about not only the castle but the family who lived there, not found in any book. The boat ride across the lake is good fun at the end of the day as is the train ride back to the main gate. Don't go into the castle via the main entrance you'll miss out. Go in along the moat to the right of the castle and in through a small back door via a wonderful wine cellar. The wine in the must be worth a few pounds for sure. Also the gardens up beyond the castle are a well worth the effort. We can't wait to visit for a whole day next time, with a well packed picknick.
Only downside is the expensive entry. Only entry ticket option is an annual pass
Go visit! Do the castle, the grounds etc. A very well choreographed tourist site. One of the best places in the South East for families
Absolutely lovely perfect family day out something for everyone
Beautiful castle and pretty wooded park, well maintained, there are several species of birds. There are beautiful play structures for children. Entry a little expensive I find compared to other castles, but you can spend a good day with family.
Great atmosphere, beautiful nature, amazing hawk show, very kind and helpful staff. If you are going to go there, spend all day
Great place to visit for the family.
You pay once for entry and your tickets last all year.
The castle is beautiful and there are plenty of staff around for assistance. Unfortunately you cannot use buggies around the castle which is understandable, but they do provide a buggy park.
Past the castle is a large maze for adults and kids to enjoy and just past this is a large castle play area.
Plenty of facilities around and wheelchair/pushchair friendly around the grounds.
Absolutely worth going. Compared to Windsor Castle this is a much better day out
This surprising castle also has deer near it. Good for Families.
Great Christmas market and villages. Love how the castle was decorated
Great playground for kids plus enough to keep adults occupied too.
Really the loveliest Castle in the world. Beautiful interiors with stunning flower compositions; amazing park perfect for a weekend picnic with family and friends. Try not to get lost in the maze!
Always a great place to go and the kids (and adults) love the play park
Well worth a visit beautiful building and gorgeous grounds. Had a lovely afternoon.
Amazing and historic castle, great facilities for adults and families alike.
Leeds Castle was originally a manor of the Saxon royal family. The first castle was an embankment enclosure whose wooden palisade was converted to stone and equipped with two towers along the perimeter. This has now disappeared. Traces of Norman arches were found at the beginning of this century.
The castle came into the possession of Edward I (1278). He rebuilt much of the castle as it appeared at the beginning of his reign expanding it and providing an external stone curtain around the edge of the largest island, with cylindrical shape and flanking towers and a square-shaped water-gate on the south -East. The Castle is really suggestive, it deserves both the show with the hawks and the visit of the family labyrinth.
Great day out plenty for children of all ages good food interesting history
Amazing place to visit and stay. It offers so many different types of events for significant events including personal and business events.
Love the whole experience there! Will definitely go again!
A bit expensive for what you get. I know that the ticket is valid forc12 months but even so. Still expensive.
Visited here for the fireworl display.. i have been here 2 years running and it is absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend
Heaven on earth. Wonderful scenery and atmosphere. Not cheap for one visit, but the ticket can be used repeatedly over following 12 months. Good quality restraunt and cafe. Bird displays. Very friendly ducks! And a beautiful castle and grounds. Excellent children's play areas. And a fun maze.
Wonderful place. So glad it has reopened. Really friendly and helpful staff doing well in Covid times
I love coming here. Great place for a family day out, suitable for all ages.
This castle is very pretty and offers a pleasant setting if the weather allows it, only downside the zeal of the people who work there, trying to scrape your money by explaining that the journey from the entrance to the estate with the castle and the castle is long, and it is better to take the little train, which costs extra money.
Lovely grounds extremely large lovely castle and lake and all the areas are neat and tidy however is expensive to get in but visit the website for all the details as I believe its a one off payment and that's you for a year or longer
Leeds Castle was a great experience, but for the entry price it would've been nice to have a little more interaction with the staff as you walked through. It was very much a self guided tour and if you missed the pamphlet in the first room it was next to impossible to know what was going on. Despite that it was great! The history of the castle came alive, it was absolutely stunning. Very family friendly, and the maze and gardens were a highlight!! Lots to do outdoors and the food was delicious at all the little restaurants! Once again great place for families!
Not much there for price of entry, real nice scenery though
Worth to visit, unfortunately still little original. Expensive ticket, where you have a whole year again inside, but as a foreign tourist you have nothing to. Definitely deserves title of most beautiful castle.
Lovely castle, something for everyone and a great local resource especially if you have young children as the play areas are fantastic. The gardens and tour were amazing to.
Massive grounds and lakes, and birds of prey centre . Ideal for walking around getting exercise and fresh air. Plus myriads of water fowl all types.
We have annual passes so go quite often. The kids aren't really old enough to understand all the history stuff but love the adventure park! We watched the jousting contest which was really good event. Made all the more interesting with different tents and people dressed up showing medieval crafts and what not.
Wonderful place to visit. Been twice already and haven't even managed to visit the castle yet. There is so much to do in the gardens and grounds with birds of prey displays, and the kids love the new play parks.
Fantastic day out with the kids, will def be going back.
Fairytale castle - stunning grounds - watched the open air classical concert- great location
Very beautiful indeed, park is huge and kids friendly
Swans and ducks are HUGE!
Lots of sky porn cloud porn autumn porn if Instagram's your kind of thing (see attached)
Castle closes at 3.30pm, but entrance fee lasts a year supposedly
Maze is very fun but closes at 4pm; recommended time required to solve it is about 20min
Beautiful park and the castle itself. Worth visiting for a whole day.
Luna Cinema. Really well done, enjoyed it thoroughly. Should have taken more blankets.
Initial thoughts were it was expensive , but then again I got a full days experience out of the place , plenty to do and see , Stunning scenery , great buildings (and for comparisons sake ... what do you pay for a visit to the cinema nowadays ?) ... oh and your entry fee entitles you to return for a full 12 months , just a shame we live at the other end of the country
Beautiful, breathtaking, amazing are all words I would use to explain the castle and grounds. If you can it is worth the trip. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the grounds.
My boyfriend and I visited the Castle beginning of July, i am registered disabled, he didn't have to pay. The access to areas for the disabled are second to none,, the staff were amazing and helpful and very informative. There are ways around the castle and lifts for wheelchair users. and lovely smooth surfaces around the gardens. The upkeep of the castle is just amazing quite amazed that the Government give NO money to help it is purely done on the 'organised days' they hold...
A great place to visit. We went in the night time for a wedding.
As a Castle visit goes probably one of the best. Lovely grounds, get to see lots of the interior, shame the punting on the moat wasn't on this time.
So much to see and do and once you pay the ticket lasts a year xx
Excellent castle and grounds, too much for one day, so we'll be back with tickets that last a year. The main castle is from 3 phases of construction, centuries appart, but blend very well.
Great walk around the castle grounds. If you live near by a annual ticket is a must. There are lots of festivals you can enter with the annual tickets. Great ice cream
And a nice place I recommend it. Ps. The lipirinto is a little difficult to finish :-)
Very nice castle; definitely worth the money. Food a bit pricey though.
Love this place. And it's great that your tickets last 1 year so you can return as many times as you want.
A beautiful, peaceful place with stunning views and a lot of history. Even just a walk around the gardens is amazing. The food here is ok and very over priced but the staff are brilliant. If you are coming to an event here leave some extra time for travelling as it can be quite manic once you leave the M20. There is plenty of parking for cars and coaches but again for major events get there early.
