Lying approximately 40 miles to the south east of the city, Leeds Castle is often described as \u201clovely\u201d but it\u2019s not the biggest castle you\u2019ll ever visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the grounds its set in more than make up for this with a falconry centre, golf course, vineyard, maze, aviary and much more besides.

With an almost <strong>fairytale design<\/strong>, Leeds Castle has been lovingly preserved by many queens over the centuries before passing into the public domain in 1974. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The diminutive size of Leeds Castle means that it\u2019s perfect to join a combined tour with a visit to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.londontoolkit.com\/tours\/premium_leeds_canterbury_greenwich.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canterbury, Dover + Leeds Castle and a cruise along the River Thames<\/a>.
