Leeds Castle - deja vu?

Maidstone Travel Blog | Travelogue | Travel Journal

Every UK trip of mine ends up becoming a London-Scotland affair, I felt I was neglecting the rest of England. So began my fortnight of discovery - Manchester, L'pool, York, Cambridge and finally 5 great days in and around London.

Leeds Castle - deja vu?

Our final stop for the day was Leeds Castle which is just fantastic. I really don't want to write much about this place, I'll let the photos speak for themselves. My favourite bit (which I discovered rather late) were the lovely gardens arranged like a maze. See the  final few photos. The castle's interiors were ok, nothing to write home about but Leeds Castle being a residential castle has a wonderful surrounding of lakes, moats, gardens, parks, the works... it evoked memories of Culzean Castle from last year. Splendid!

PS - James Blunt and KT Tunstall were playing the following Saturday. Damn, I'm a week early!
