Such a lovely place, lots for the kids to see and do, and decent places to eat. Facilities are excellent, and the staff friendly and helpful. Expensive entry cost if you only go once, but your ticket is valid for a whole year, so the more you go the better value it gets.
Beautiful place. Lots to see. A must to visit. Your ticket last a whole year.
Spacious u great area, imposing castle, beautiful old and good-keeping interior, lovingly maintained
Very friendly hosts. Beautiful and historic setting.
Brilliant castle and grounds with plenty to do and see
Lovely Castle , nice grounds , pay on first visit and come again all year free on most days, great value.
Fabulous family day out with lots of walks and a fantastic childrens play area.
Lovely day at Leeds castle.. Pay entrance fee once and come back as many times as you like for a year
Had a lovely day, Beautiful castle. Wonderful history. Your ticket allows you to go back as many times as you like for a year.
Fantastic castle and the Christmas fair was brilliant for the whole family, with plenty for the kids to do.
Only down side is have to buy annual ticket. Had an overseas guest and so will only use ticket once due to photo so works out very expensive
Such a great place to visit and ideal for families. From the entrance it is a lovely stroll through the grounds before you get to the castle. We decided to look at the gardens first which were quite tropical and walked up to the Birds of Prey area. Lovely specimens and if you fancied a game of crazy golf that is there for all. We didn't do the Maze or Grotto, but that is maybe for a later time.
Back to the Castle which is more like a stately home and to see that fantastic view of moat and castle. You walk around the base to enter the Castle which is actually on 2 islands. Through the cellars and up to the lower floors. Through the passage way to the 2nd island and tour a fantastic building with so much history. Through each room and out into a small courtyard. Imagine Henry the VIII and Catherine of Aragon using this fantastic place.
You head back through the upper corridor to the main island where Lady Baillie the last private owner left her mark.
We headed back out through the gift shop and through the old mill and back through the grounds and over the oriental bridge.
A great day and a must.
Grounds are beautiful and the Castle is stunning. We stayed at the B&B which included price of admission, but if we had not the 21 pound entry fee probably would've been a bit steep for what was inside. That having been said, the castle interior is in very good condition (thanks to extensive updates and renovations in the mid-20th century) and provides an interesting counterpoint to the slightly less prisitine National Trust houses and castles.
There was a medieval fair on which was extremely well done; if we had children (or when I was young) it would have been a truly awesome experience. As it was, it was quite good, if a little pricey.

Majestic castle with a great area around it. Ticket prices can be seen as overpriced but worth a visit for sure!
Just a few miles away from us. Amazing grounds and facilities. Always a wonderful day out. Lots of activities over the school holidays for young families. Wonderful food and staff. Highly recommended.
Beautiful location to visit which could take several days if you want to explore the whole site and the castle itself. Also hosts many events all year round.
Bit on the expensive side. Worth it for the day out though.
As you wander the ground you can definitely see remnants of when it was a Norman stronghold . Even thought it was quite grey the day we visited the mile plus walk to the castle through the Woodland Garden alongside the River Len was quite beautiful, especially s the daffodils were starting to bloom and there tons of water features. While the grounds were beautiful my favorite part was the actual castle tour where you can tour the staterooms. And be sure not to miss the library.
After our self guided tour of the staterooms we explored the gardens, the maze, and the grotto before heading to the Cliffs of Dover stay tuned for that! We had a great time and if you are looking for a day trip out of London I highly suggest a visit to Leeds Castle though be warned, the tickets are a bit pricey, but they are good for one year!
Fantastic day out. Beautiful gardens and great castle tour. Lots to do for the family and great facilities. Be aware though that hot food isn't served until the end of the day and stops at about 3pm. Looks like a lot of improvements going on this year too. All tickets allow free return for a year which makes it really good value if living in the SE. Definitely recommend.
Good place to go it is expencive for a one off visit but you can visit for a year after purchasing a ticket however my partner's family from Finland had to pay full price for one visit which was really expencive as they couldn't use it all year
It s better to visit this castle during any festivals being organised inside. Don t enter the maze at the last moment in the evening. ;)
Fantastic day out. Plenty to do and see for whole family. Especially when they have event days
The Leeds Castle provides entertainment or everyone. History buffs can start with The Gatehouse Exhibition which takes you through the Norman and Tudor dynasties along with other smaller ones through artefacts and facts. The audio tours will provide you with a continuous source of information about the major influences on the castle. One of their most fascinating exhibits is the Dog Collar Museum. Hosting five centuries of collars, the museum is one of it s kind. A 15th century iron one which used to protect against wildlife to the fancy ones of silver along with beads and plastic.
Tickets now last 15 months. Geat grounds and facilities for all the family.
Beautiful place to visit and entry fee currently allows repeat visits for 15 months.
Fabulous castle and grounds. Covid precautions well thought out and in place. Highly recommend.
What a fantastic place. We stayed in the maidens tower. What an experience
We were astonished by this castle. Even the kids liked it.
Maze was good. Go early so that you dont miss Falcon show. Nice place for photography.
the castle is very beautiful is very large, the garden is gorgeous, the birds in the garden are beautiful, you can buy food to feed them, you can walk through the castle yard, the yard is very clean, the very devoted employees
ticket price very cheap
I will definitely return backp
A beautifully preserved old English castle a bit more then an hour outside of London. The tour is fun and the grounds are lovely. Well worth it.
Lovely place. Segway experience was brilliant so was the punting on the moat.
Pretty Woman on the screen, rain pouring down and a wonderful view of Leeds castle-memorable evening.
Beautiful grounds and castle. Expensive ticket if for one day but tickets are all year revisit.
The castle was amazing. The grounds were beautiful and the history of the castle was well documented throughout the self-guided tour. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. There's something for everyone.
Love this place but don't like the photo ID u need to get in that doesn't help people who are only visiting one and the children shouldn't have to be photo ID as children always like to go with different friends so if that could change then they make it better for familys that are local otherwise a lovely place my children love it and I go all the time
Pros: Very nice gardens, great maze and kids play areas, lots of places for a nice picnic.
Overall we still had fun, but not likely to visit again (except maybe to try to get some value out of the free visits for 12 months...which is always an excuse to charge a fortune and pretend it's good value!)
Great park around the castle as well as the castle itself. An ideal place to spend free time with the family in the bosom of nature.
Wonderful place so much to do.Very clean no litter. Lots of places to eat. Play park for the children and lots of picnic areas
Went to the fireworks display on Sunday night 5th November lovely display but an absolute nightmare getting out of the car park no organization from the Marshalls at all will not be going next year.
Its a great source of history, has loads of fun activities around all year round and has brilliant sight seeing places.
One of the best castles we've been to. Gorgeous grounds and an idyllic setting for a castle that spreads over a series of islands. Amazing history of strong women involved.
It's well worth the trip down to watch the fireworks. All set to music with the castle lit up with projectors, very much a fun evening had by all the family.
Lots to see. Lovely place to visit. Make sure you see the birds of prey.
A beautiful castle perfect for exploring and taking photos.
great time had by all will need more than one visit
A place for a great day out. Plenty of options for kids, such as Maze, Kingdom play area, which are well maintained. Lot of space for picnic and we thoroughly enjoyed it !
Walk there very regularly. Very friendly, cheerful and helpful staff. Good events. So clean and natural. An all weathers and seasons destination.
We absolutely love coming to Leeds Castle. Your ticket is valid for re-entry for the year which is simply brilliant! We come regularly and enjoy something different each time, including; the falconry displays, play areas, maze, boat ride, land train, crazy golf, beautiful gardens, woodland strolls, stunning seasonal displays inside the castle, the awesome Christmas market.... Can't wait to go back soon!
Fantastic fireworks, worth every penny, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Love this place so much to see and so many places to picnic
Stunning castle, beautiful grounds and the fact you can use your ticket for the whole year is great, very engaging and friendly staff can't wait to go back again!
