"A Day at Leeds Castle, near Maidstone" Maidstone by londonlover

Maidstone Travel Guide: 48 reviews and 183 photos

Our first stop after getting off the train at Maidstone from London was to pick up our rental car. After a harrowing 40 minutes or so (and several near misses!) we arrived at Leeds Castle, nicknamed "The Loveliest Castle in the World." I'd have to agree!

    An Englishman's home is his castle, and this is a lovely one. Thank you for sharing.

    Tara, you know how I love gardens...these are stunning. I can tell from the photographs that you were enjoying this very much. Tell us more about the trip in the car to Maidstone. It sounds like an interesting story.

    a lovely garden here, yes! thanks for the painterly view...so this is what it looks like in the growing season, a bit different than a grey Nov, eh?
