Fine dining restaurant at Leeds Castle offering culinary experiences
Leeds Castle is a fantastic day out, and the medieval festival made it even better. The jousting, footmen drills, siege weapon demonstrations and bird of prey show created a brilliant atmosphere and brought the history of the castle to life. The grounds are huge with plenty of space to explore, great views of the lake and lots of spots for photos. The castle interiors are beautifully presented and the whole site is well organised with good facilities. Perfect for families, history fans and anyone who enjoys immersive events in a stunning setting.
We came late on a warm day and basically had the castle to ourselves. The guards patiently waited for us to complete our tour of the castle before we left and had a gentle stroll around the garden. It's cheaper to buy your ticket online before you arrive. This is not a huge castle but it is very accessible and you can wonder inside and get a good feel for what it may have been like over its history. There is an interactive display inside that's not bad and is a good attempt at using technology to enhance the visitor experience.
Although we live over 100 miles away we are annual ticket holders to Leeds Castle. It's a great place to take children /grandchildren with lots to do. Recently we went in the school half term and they had made a great effort to put on extra activities to help keep everyone interested.
An amazing place, spacious, with plenty of attractions for everyone. Beautiful gardens, a playground for children, a boat ride, a maze, a bird experience, cafe shops, a restaurant, a gift shop, and, most of all, fantastic people – great customer service everywhere. Absolutely worth the visit and a must-see: once you buy a ticket, you'll be able to visit anytime for a year. Absolutely a great day to spend and relax. I truly recommend it.
Lovely castle and additional activities to do. The ticket is fantastic value for a year's entry. This is a great day out for everyone with lots for families to see and do. The food in the cafe was delicious. The ducks and canadian geese were great to see and there is the option to buy food for them. The walk up to the castle is beautiful. I definitely recommend getting the multi-media guide which is included in the ticket price. I just wish we lived closer to be able to come again.
