Leeds Castle

Castle in Kent, England, 7 km/4 mi southeast of Maidstone. Leeds Castle is situated on two islands in a lake, formed by the River Len. The earliest buildings on the site date from the late 13th century.

A wooden fort stood on the site of Leeds Castle as early as 857. The gatehouse of the present castle was erected by Edward I for his queen, Eleanor of Castile. The property remained in royal ownership until the 16th century. Major additions were made to the castle buildings in 1822.
