Behind the scenes tour
Venture into the place where no visitors are allowed to go. See the birds up close, and have your falconer explain in detail about each of them. Learn their names, species, age, history and other facts any bird lover would appreciate.
Leeds Castle
Rising majestically from a moat and surrounded by 500 acres of beautiful parkland and formal gardens is Leeds Castle.
Go back 900 years of English history as you explore the castle’s countless roles: as a Norman stronghold; the private property of six of England’s medieval queens; the palace of infamous Henry VIII and his first wife, Katherine of Aragon; a Jacobean country house; a Georgian mansion; an elegant early 20th century country retreat for the rich and famous – and now one of the most visited buildings in Britain.
With its rich history, breath-taking interiors and regal gardens, it is not hard to see why thousands of visitors are drawn to the castle each year.
