Tall and picturesque against the reflection in its vast moat with almost 500 acres of green parkland surrounding it, Leeds Castle is known as one of the loveliest castles in the world. This Norman palace, once used by King Henry VIII, is every bit the iconic castle pictured in storybooks.
Visitors can tour the staterooms, furnished in the style of the Tudors and the medieval queens who once called it home, and see artifacts from these time periods, including weapons, armor, clothing, and even a collection of historical dog collars. Outside the castle, guests will love the twisting green hedge maze, the expansive gardens and walking paths, or boating out on the moat.
