Where is Leeds Castle?
Leeds Castle is located in Broomfield, Maidstone.
You'd absolutely be forgiven for thinking that Leeds Castle is in Leeds, however, the 900-year-old castle is in Kent.
We're sure you're probably thinking, 'but why is it called Leeds Castle?' Well, while the boundaries of regions were very different 900 years ago than they are today, the main assumption is that the castle's first owner, Ledian, built the structure in 857 AD. Then Ledian morphed into 'Leeds' over time.
How much is Leeds Castle entry?
Leeds Castle tickets start from £31.50 for an adult, £22.50 for a child and £79 for a family. However, as we've already mentioned, we've found plenty of deals that will help you secure Leeds Castle tickets for less, and that could be part of a bundle or a membership, too.
