Leeds Castle, England

Leeds Castle

Yet another castle to cross off the list, Leeds Caste in England is not far from London, and offers a very scenic grounds. It is a nice place to visit, however if you are traveling with kids they may become bored after thirty to fourty minutes. The castle itself is loaded with artwork, yet I found the grounds to be my favorite part. They have an area seperate the castle which includes a falcon display, and a maze, which I highly encourage yourself to get lost in. SPOILER ALERT: You will get lost.
