Q: What experiences can I enjoy at Leeds Castle?

Falconry displays take place daily in summer, or on weekends and school vacation days during off-peak months. Look out for special events throughout the year; examples include Valentine’s Day dinner paired with an overnight stay in the castle, family-friendly Easter trails, the Queen’s Joust event in May, and the Leeds Castle Concert in mid-July.

Leeds Castle, Cliffs of Dover and Canterbury Day Trip from London with Guided Cathedral Tour

Patrick_M, Jan 2026

Great Exploration of Kent!

Beautiful Day in Kent. Enjoyed Leeds Castle and Canterbury Cathedral. We could even see France from Dover it was such a clear and sunny day. Shiela had lots of very interesting history to share both on the coach and walking through Canterbury and the Cathedral. She is an expert.

Aleksandra_M, Sep 2025

Beautiful trip with some highlights, but a modest ending

The trip was overall wonderful! Just keep in mind that the last stop at the Dover Cliffs is only a walk along the beach with a view of them. I was fine with that, but there’s no castle visit or anything particularly spectacular to expect at the final destination. Leeds Castle and Canterbury Cathedral were absolutely amazing!

Traveling to Leeds, Dover and Canterbury

This was a great trip. I loved the castle and then just walking around the place. The tour guide was amazing but for the life of me I don't remember her name. Getting to go to Canterbury was a bucket list place for me.

Adventure outside London

Leeds Castle is located on beautifully kept grounds so it is lovely to walk about on the outside . The inside has some nicely decorated rooms to explore and at Christmas there is always a fun theme. The Cliffs of Dover are inspiring to see from the beach. The quaint town of Canterbury has a nice variety of shops and restaurants that are fun to check out along with a magnificent cathedral to visit. Very enjoyable day.

Leeds Castle, Cliffs of Dover and Canterbury Day Trip from London with Guided Cathedral Tour

William_P, Nov 2025

Good Day Trip

Leeds castle is immersive as a "country estate" as are the furnished rooms. Canterbury is not to be missed on a visit to England. The brief visit at Dover was a disappointment; the cliffs are barely visible from the stopping point along a short, stony beach. Guide was informative. Overall a pleasant day trip from London
