Leeds Castle is a castle in Kent, England, 5 miles (8 km) southeast of Maidstone. It is built on islands in a lake formed by the River Len to the east of the village of Leeds.
A castle has existed on the site since 1119, the first being a simple stone stronghold constructed by Robert de Crevecoeur which served as a military post in the time of Norman intrusions into England. In the 13th century it came into the hands of King Edward I, for whom it became a favourite residence; in the 16th century, Henry VIII used it as a dwelling for his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.
The present castle dates mostly from the 19th century. It has been open to the public since 1976.

Still in blue livery is Tinsley Class 47 47053 Impala.. Originally D1635 I saw this engine many times in its original two-tone green livery on expresses in the Preston area during the 60s when a 5A loco. It later gained Railfreight Distribution grey livery and was eventually cut up during 2007. Behind are 47258 (TI) in grey and 47524 (CD) in InterCity livery.

DB Maritime Blue Class 66 No.66148 & Royal Skip 67005 Queens Messenger both working in multiple, are seen approaching an overcast Leeds Station on the 12th of February 2022, working the 15:23 5Z80 ECS move from Neville Hill T&RSMD to Leeds, which went on to make up the return leg of the Powerful Pennine Panorama Railtour, Organised by UK Railtours.
The return leg was routed back to London via Wakefield Westgate, Swinton, Chesterfield and Toton where the blue Class 66 would be removed, before the tour carried on to London via the MML to Leicester then across to Nuneaton, before descending the WCML to London Euston.
Doing its best to ruin the shot, Northern DMU No.195196 is seen leaving Leeds Station working the 13:32 1B30 service from Blackpool North to York.
This afternoon I ventured down to the new Leeds Park and Ride site at Stourton, which sits just south of the junction of Wakefield Road and the M621. A lot of alterations have been made to this area in preparation for the opening of the site on 6th September 2021, including bus priority and improved junctions.

Leeds Castle is a castle in Kent, England, 5 miles (8 km) southeast of Maidstone. It is built on islands in a lake formed by the River Len to the east of the village of Leeds.
A castle has existed on the site since 1119, the first being a simple stone stronghold constructed by Robert de Crevecoeur which served as a military post in the time of Norman intrusions into England. In the 13th century it came into the hands of King Edward I, for whom it became a favourite residence; in the 16th century, Henry VIII used it as a dwelling for his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.
The present castle dates mostly from the 19th century. It has been open to the public since 1976.
From 857 the site was owned by a Saxon chief called Led or Leed who built a wooden structure on two islands in the middle of the River Len.[1] In 1119 Robert de Crevecoeur rebuilt it in stone as a Norman stronghold and Leeds Castle descended through the de Crevecoeur family until the 1260s.[2] What form this Norman stronghold took is uncertain because it was rebuilt and transformed in the following centuries. Adrian Pettifer speculates that it may have been a motte and bailey.[3]
In 1278, the castle was bought by King Edward I's Queen, Eleanor of Castile. As a favoured residence of Edward's, it saw considerable investment. The king enhanced its defences, and it was probably Edward who created the lake that surrounds the castle. A barbican spanning three islands was also built and a gloriette with apartments for the king and queen was added.[4] In the Late Middle Ages, the growth of the royal household meant fewer residences could accommodate the monarchy when they visited. As a result, expenditure on royal residences in south east England generally decreased except for the Tower of London and Windsor Castle. The activity at Leeds Castle during the reign of Edward I was a notable exception to this pattern.[5]
The castle was captured on 31 October 1321 by the forces of Edward II from Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere, wife of the castle's constable, Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Baron Badlesmere, who had left her in charge during his absence. The King had besieged Leeds after she had refused Edward's consort Isabella of France admittance in her husband's absence; when the latter sought to force an entry, Lady Badlesmere instructed her archers to fire upon Isabella and her party, six of whom were killed.[6] Lady Badlesmere was kept prisoner in the Tower of London until November 1322.[7] After Edward II died in 1327 his widow took over Leeds Castle as her primary residence.[8]
Richard II's first wife, Anne of Bohemia, spent the winter of 1381 at the castle on her way to be married to the king. In 1395, Richard received the French chronicler Jean Froissart there, as described in Froissart's Chronicles.
Henry VIII transformed the castle in 1519 for his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. A painting commemorating his meeting with Francis I of France still hangs there. The glazier Galyon Hone reworked and restored the chapel windows in 1536.[9]
In 1552 Leeds Castle was granted to Sir Anthony St Leger (d.1559)[2] of Ulcombe, Kent, whose grandfather Ralph I St Leger (d.1470), of Ulcombe, Sheriff of Kent in 1467/8, had been Constable of Leeds Castle.
