Leeds Castle Reviews

Totally loved my day out to the castle. This place is rightly defined the most beautiful castle of the world.
Rich of history, surrounded by a 500 acres of gardens there anything better fit a day out for the family.
Quite expensive, but at least ticket can be reused within a year.

Wow, Leeds Castle what a place! Yes the entrance fee is rather steep, but if you visit more than once in a year, you get great value for money. The historic building, friendly staff, beautiful grounds, hedge maze, and falconry displays make it all worthwhile.

The grounds and surrounding nature, change with the seasons If you have the option, visit in the summer, autumn, winter, and spring.

Love the walk through woods leading to main area and castle. Birds of prey display was amazing

Great amount of things to see. There are lots and lots of birds - take some seeds :) Make sure to check schedule of birds of prey demonstration

My personal favourite get away place, ideal for chill out on a sunny day.

Beautiful trip out of town. Relaxing and beautiful park. Good restaurant with affordable prices. Suitable for young and old.

Visited with nephews, absolutely beautiful rooms and the Christmas trees were fantastic. Would love to go back but live in Co. Durham so might not get the chance.

Amazing castle, history and surrounding grounds were fabulous.

Great day out. Fireworks were some of the best I have seen.

A must to see. Leeds Castle is not only beautiful but the landscape and wildlife ensures you love it even more.

Beautiful place with large grounds and plenty of free parking

We went there on 1st August. You need to book a slot to arrive. This means that there are no huge queues so you can socially distance. I felt quite safe there and not too many people. The maze and Castle were closed. Playgrounds and crazy golf were open. It's just a lovely place to walk around. There are places to buy drinks and food. We took a picnic but bought ice creams. They had an open air stall selling BBQ food. There were baby ducks and peacocks wandering around. All in all a lovely day

Lovely castle and grounds. Great play area for the toddlers and a newly built one for the slightly older ones.
The maze is well worth getting lost in too!
Not particularly cheap to get in, but if you're local-ish the ticket I think lasts for a year for more than one visit.

Whilst the admission price was a little high, at least you can tell it's spent on the attraction (update: I've actually just noticed the tickets are valid for a year, so not too bad if enjoyed it and want to go again). Had a very pleasant day looking around the grounds and the buildings. Very interesting learning and experiencing the history of the castle.

A beautiful castle and also a nice park that is worth a look. It is also cared for by the children as they have a large playground.

Amazing views. Bring a picnic ad good and drink are not cheap.

Not to be taken too lightly. Great, and really big.

A lovely historic castle in a beautiful location. The cost does include entry for a year if you are able to return.

Visited Leeds Castle for an afternoon tea experience, which I understand can only be done on Sunday's? You are able to walk around the grounds, gardens and the Castle itself. There is a restaurant for those on a normal day out, ample toilet facilities, plenty of parking. Fortunately, it is less than a mile from junc. 8 off the M20 and eady to find.

Beautiful castle and grounds. Various attractions and eating places. Very popular

Beautiful castle and grounds. Great place for the whole family

Great place to visit,picnic, play golf or go to a variety of concerts

Absolutely magical. The castle, the lake, the gardens... Just magical.

Great place for a big day out. Mostly outside so weather dependant.

Lovely place well kept and interesting although very expensive especially if you can only visit once

Very nice , plenty of greenery , well designed tour. It s a bit pricey but you can go as many times as you wish for a year . Falconry shows , lots of things to do for kids . Recommended!

Classical concert and fireworks an annual summer ocassion.

Stunning beautiful and fully accessible for the disabled unlike English Heritage's Dover Castle!

Personally it was much better than Windsor Castle, of course it takes longer in London but there's a little well around the castle that makes the castle look nicer and more elegant!

Definitely one of my favourite outdoor spaces to visit in Kent. Entry is well priced given it's an annual ticket, but food @ the cafe's etc. are on the pricey side IMO. Top tip - bring your own packed lunch!!!

A huge thank you to all the staff especially the driver of the mobility coach who let me drive my car down to the central land train pick up spot to collect my mother (84) who is in a wheel chair, and then making sure that my partner and our son (6) made it on to the land train as he was looking forward to the ride back to the entrance. I lost my dad 10 days ago and the trip to Leeds Castle was to help enjoy a day out at a difficult time. The staff did not know about this. Throughout the day my mum was helped, working the lift steps to the toilets in the restaurant, helping lift my mum in her wheel chair onto the ferry for a ride across the lake along with many other acts of kindness. My son loved the 'spies' activity.
Thanks to all involved.

Amazing, fun day out for the kids and they loved the castle :)

Beautiful castle lovely grounds to walk around in will be going back in the summer

Such a wonderful place, always been past but never in, so when I had time with the wife to go touring we went in, lovely grounds, very impressive building, special thanks to a member of staff who gave us a personal touch which was amazing, Dawn K,
Definitely going back using our year long ticket,

Great gardens
. Birds of prey and a great play area for children

5 stars for the castle and gardens. Stunning!! I cannot rate the food, not much to choose from (for vegetarians).

Love this place. This is our most frequently visited place when we fancy quick for walk. Plenty of parking space and the whole place is nicely maintained. There are few places to eat if you fancy. When the weather is nice there are plenty of outdoor activities such as falcon show, maze etc. The castle itself is wonderful, a lot to see and learn. Overall you will have plenty to see and do. Make sure to visit this place.

Beautiful environment. Nice gardens. Well maintained. Friendly people

Leeds Castle is the most beautiful Castle we have been to, and not just because it is on our home turf. Do the boat trip and odf course the 'little train'

Love Leeds Castle. Great value for money for my yearly ticket. Lots of things going on throughout the year

I loved the castle... it was a great experience with such a good atmosphere.... defunatley 5 stars

Described as the prettiest castle in the world. Superb grounds and gardens, restaurants cafe and many other attractions.

Very relaxing. Staff is amazing. We were a bit disappointed that the castle and maze wasnt open. There was information on the website but it should have been mentioned as highlighted. However the staff is attending the visitors very well.

There is plenty of space for children to run and play, lots of activities and the children live feeding the ducks. Living locally the fact the ticket lasts all year is a real bonus as there is always something to go back to do.

Great staff and a wonderful place to stay and visit.

A beautiful castle with a remarkable landscape.
Solid place for taking awesome pictures and making memory or hanging out with family.
The tickets are bit expensive for the experience though. (Apparently they need it for the maintenance and everything else)

Easy parking, good access, a lot of the site is wheelchair accessible - lovely day out. Fantastic views and grounds.

Initially we were skeptical as the ticket price was quite expensive but in hindsight, there is value for money.

The ground are huge and beautifully landscaped and the castle is fantastically restored to offer insight into its history.

Beyond that, the maze, falconry exhibition, bird of prey enclosures, battle of the skies and playgrounds for kids contribute to the ticket value and day-out

It is in a beautiful place surrounded by greenery. Although it was the off-season, there were some tourists.

My sister got married at Leeds castle in the maidens tower it was beautiful the maidens tower is a stunning location to get married the staff who organized everything were brilliant at their job. I highly recommend it as a wedding venue.

Great day out be it rain or shine. And I still can't believe tickets are available for a whole year.

Beautiful castle in a stunning setting. Lovely grounds. Rather expensive entrance fee.

Wonderful castle but price is slightly high for entrance.

Love it , it's full of history and the ground are beautiful. You buy a ticket and that ticket gets you I as many times as you like for a year. Brilliant xxx

I think, if you live close, as I am fortunate enough to do, the ticket is worth it as I can use it all year round

Nice grounds lovly walks castle not all rooms open so score this as above
