Wow, Leeds castle was stunning
Wow, Leeds Castle was stunning. Set in the countryside, the drive up to the castle was spectacular, and we weren't disappointed. The grounds are stunning. It just got better and better, the Maze, Falconry, and the castle. The food was good here, and the restaurant was superb. There was a boat ride available on the lake, Go-Ape, and play areas. You could easily spend a day here. The staff were polite and knowledgeable, and the castle itself is steeped in history.
