Leeds Castle Landscape

Leeds Castle Landscape

Listed in the Domesday Book as a Saxon manor, Leeds Castle has played many roles in the intervening centuries.
It has been a Norman  stronghold;  the private property of six of England’s medieval  queens; a palace used by Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon; a Jacobean country house; a Georgian  mansion; an elegant
early 20th-century retreat for the influential and famous; and, in the 21st century, it has become one of the most visited historic buildings in Britain.
