My friends and I had a gorgeous day at Leeds Castle last week!

Known as the "The Loveliest Castle in the World," Leeds is definitely an impressive place with it's extensive grounds, waterfalls, it's own golf course and beautiful interior.  Steeped in a rich history spanning over 900 years.

From the parking area you take a lovely walk (or mobility bus) through the grounds.

There is so much to look at, as you can see, even before you get to the castle!  Then these beautiful structures come into view!

A piano player and fresh flowers throughout the castle sure do add to the atmosphere!

After perusing through the castle we made our way beyond the castle where there is an impressive maze and grotto.

The price to get into the castle may seem steep at £21, however, your ticket is good for a year.  A friend graciously let me borrow her tickets for my friends and I.
