Leeds Castle, located in Kent, England, is often referred to as the “loveliest castle in the world.” Built on islands in a lake formed by the River Len, it has a rich history dating back to 857 AD. The castle was a royal residence for several English queens, including Catherine of Aragon, and underwent significant renovations in the 19th century. Today, it spans over 500 acres of parkland, featuring gardens, a maze, and various attractions. Opened to the public in 1976, it remains a popular tourist destination and offers accommodations and events throughout the year.
