Castle

Leeds castle, 4 miles from Maidstone in Kent was first built on two islands in the River Len by Robert de Crevecoeur in 1119. It was in royal ownership from 1278-1552 when much of the existing building was added. Since that time it has been in private ownership and is currently maintained by the Leeds Castle Foundation Trust. First opened to the public in 1976 it is also available for hire for private functions such as weddings or residential conferences.

Every room in this beautiful castle is decorated for Christmas, some with fairy story themes. Each room has a Christmas tree with the tallest one in the entrance hall.
