Beautiful place to go with kids..They can have fun playing with swans and birds around the castle ...there's lots of walking required here so prefer your walking shoes ..Not much option available for eating so get your own food and drink along with you ..very good place for a picnic with family on a sunny day..
A spectacular castle !! It is perfect for hiking trails in the area and ending in this wonderful castle. 100% recommended
Nice castle, large scenic grounds. Not that much to do there, though, and you have to buy a ticket that's valid for the entire year.
Visited the Leeds Castle Christmas Market was so beautiful a good variety of stalls and we had some amazing German sausage! The castle was superbly decorated with tons of chrismtas trees, flowers and there was a cute older gentle playing the piano! The whole place was stunning and for a Saturday not as busy as I expected. I would however like to mention the reason I have given it three stars and that was the complete inadequacy of the parking situation. I parked on a muddy field it was so slippery not only was parking a nightmare but the conditions under foot were pretty bad as well. On the way out of the so called car park there were cars getting stuck in the mud getting out its was really horrible.
Beautiful castle with amazing environment. Very romantic place. Certainly I recommend to families with children, because they have fun all day.
Beautiful place, lots of history and a wonderful flower festival
We had an amazing time at Leeds castle today, the grounds look stunning and my grand children, age 5 and 14 both love the castle. They love hunting for the items on the sheet, it makes looking round the castle so much fun for them. You could never get bored of such a beautiful place.
Did the segway tour with my mate what a laugh. Well done girls.
Went here in the summer... Was lovely to walk around. If you have kids I wouldn't say there is loads to do for them. As I struggled to entertain myself haha. Is a beautiful castle though and for the more cultured a person would be very interesting.
Beautiful day out with the family. Would highly recommend. Only 1.30 /2 hrs away from London
The Loveliest Castle in the World is their slogan. Go visit this place, and you know why. The castle dates back to the year 879. A very spacious park and gardens with a lake and the castle on its island. Dedicate one full day for the visit. Since the park is so large, you may rent a bicycle to run around. Admission fee is 25GBP per adult, and in case you are interested in family tickets: it s 76GBP for 2 adults and up to 4 children. In case you book in advance via the internet, you save 1 to 4 GBP. Tickets grant free repeat visits for 1 whole year.
Lovely castle, beautiful grounds and a good adventure playground and maze for the kids. a great day out with very good facilities.
Plenty to do & see food choices very disappointing.
Really enjoyed the incredible grounds and the estate
Beautiful place. Really hard to get there from London tho
Mice in our tent, staff knew abiut the issue before hand. Near enough extortion anyway so wouldnt expect rodents
A beautiful place!!! Gardens well maintained, pleasant, castle and beautiful and interesting.
A very fine castle set in beautiful grounds; worth a return visit.
It is a wonderful place to go l could go there every week and neither get bored
One of the best preserved and historical castles in the UK. It has a very interesting history.
Beautiful place. Staff were really friendly and always lots to do. Seeing the falconry, exploring the maze and grotto, walking round the gardens and castle. The flower festival was on too which was lovely.
Great place for day out with kids, plenty of
History and lovely grounds. Falconry displays at 2pm, train to get you around and back if needed. Food can be expensive for some but you can take a picnic yourself.
I believe it's last entry a 3pm but close at 5pm, so get there early!
Beautiful grounds and a lovely day out with good facilities for children...
Had a special day out with my Grandaughter who is 11. We had a brilliant day. Went on the ferry and train. Visited maze. Saw falconry display. We went around the castle. I love Leeds Castle. Ticket lasts all year. Worth the money!
It was great, but.....
So much buildup; world's best castle? I was expecting more.
Very limited military history, and very little militaria. Not an awful lot in the way of fine art or furniture, and what was there wasn't hugely unique.
That said, I would recommend visiting and I will try to go back inside a year to make the most of the eye-watering pocket-pilfering year pass tickets.
Great for the kids had a good time. Food a bit pricey. Not a lot of undercover places to sit if weather gets bad, so should go on dry days.
Good little testing 9 hole course,reasonably priced as well.the day we played we did 18 holes but we're disappointed when we had to play back 9 from same tee's. It would benefit from slightly different tee's coming back
There is nowhere like Leeds Castle. The stunning grounds, the magnificent castle make it perfect for a day out.
There is so much space for children to let of steam. If you go on a nice day there are plenty of places for picnics and there is a restaurant. They have falconry displays, jousting and several events all through the year which are included in the admission ticket. There is a maze and children's playground that will suit all ages.
At Christmas the castle rooms are all decorated to a theme and it looks beautiful and stunning.
Whatever time of year you visit you will never be disappointed, its well worth the admission price as you can visit as often as you like for a year.
There is a land train for a small fee, for people who aren't so keen or able to walk from the car park to the castle.
A well stocked gift shop with items of varying prices and bird food for feeding, geese, ducks and peacocks.
Well worth a visit.
A very beautiful place with lot's of things to do for kids
Leeds castle is an amazing day out for the family. Lots of entertainment for kids including a playground and mini golf. Castle very well done(social distancing wise). I would highly recommend going there but just dress warmly!
Beautiful castle and grounds. You can get a year long pass as well. Amazing birds on prey display. I strongly recomend and it's a great family location.
One of my favorite castles! Gorgeous setting - beautiful gardens! An absolutely fabulous days outing!!!
Had a wonderful day everyone and everything was brilliant the grounds were well laid out and the ducks swans etc with there young was a sight to see
Very well maintained beautiful area with great garden
If M25 is not crowded, it will arrive from London in about 90 minutes. The parking lot is spacious and free.
The castle itself is small, but the garden is well maintained and beautiful.
There are cafes and attractions so you can spend a relaxing day. Tickets can be entered smoothly by purchasing them on the Internet in advance. If you want to visit many times, you can make a year pass at the ticket office.
Steeped in History "staff very helpful ,beautiful weather and the flower festival amazing
This place was absolutely amazing. It was so beautiful and fun. However it's a really tiring walk so only go if you're physically able to walk a lot!
Quite nice grounds, but there's plenty of beautiful places in the UK. Might be nice if your into royal history but as someone who isn't interested in that at all it's a massive waste of time and money.
Had some pretty cool swans though. Doing swan stuff.
Had the loveliest day ever. We frequent regularly. It's fantastic
You must visit if you haven't already. What beautiful and impressive grounds
Beautiful gardens, and very beautiful castle. Really worth it ..
A lovely day out, shame it was cold and windy, but it was very informative on the castles history and how it has changed over the years. They had a children's quest booklet for them to find whilst walking about, which they all enjoyed doing. The maze was fun and the grotto is pretty. There is also a huge play area and golf, they had a falconry show on as well. We had a very good day and we will be coming back.
Excellent my Italian group had a lovely time there.
Fantastic landscape !! The castle itself is very pretty but the gardens and lawns are lovely !! You get lost in the magic of the typically English green ..
Lovely to come here whilst it's quiet! Good one way system taking you around the grounds for the best photos
It is indeed a fantastic castle and house. Gardens and parks are worth wandering around. Looses a star as just a little bit expensive.
History of 900 years ago up to the present time was extremely interesting- with thanks from the late lady Ballie & The Leeds Castle foundation.
We had a fabulous day & will definitely be coming back & would thoroughly recommend to all ages - a great day out.
A very nice place to go for a nice picnic and also just to relax
Lovely and tranquil. Beautiful grounds and beautiful castle with long and wide ranging paths around the gardens and scattered woods. Will be heading back there and dedicating a whole day for the next visit.
Warning: take a pack lunch and buy your gifts at the entrance. The restaurants do not stay open very long, their menus are a bit costly and lack variation. Furthermore, when it was time to leave I found that the gift shop had shut. It's normal for visitors to buy a momento after visiting but here that was not taken into consideration. Otherwise the castle was beautiful and very interesting. The staff were friendly and helpful. Wheelchairs were really available. The falconry display impressed as did the grotto at the end of the maze. Well worth the visit.
What a beautiful castle !!! That too owned by an individual not from royal family.
Christmas at the castle.What's not to like magical!
A bit of a walk from entrance to the castle buildings but there is transport available and wheelchairs if required. Lovely house and gardens look round. Lots of history.
No parking area for bicycles or the possibility to store them with luggage (cycling holiday with lots of gear) behind bars. Staff was not willing to find a solution.
What an amazing place. We stayed here for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The castle itself is very interesting and is geared towards loading your brain with as much medieval history as possible. The moat is so nice that I actually ask my now wife to marry me there. Overlooking the water and the castle how much closer to a fairytale can you get :)
Lovely day out and the castle is really well maintained
Nice place to spend time, but you have to pay for entrance 26 pounds. Ticket lasts whole year if you want to come back.
One of my favourites, marvellous history, and gardens to boot
Stunning castle, beautiful grounds. Lovely for a day out.
I am very impressed with this place. Extremely beautiful.
