Q: Why is Leeds Castle known as the loveliest castle in the world?

Boasting history, aesthetics, and family fun in one go, Leeds Castle easily merits its “loveliest castle in the world” moniker.

To catch Leeds Castle at its most colorful, visit from May through August.

Christmas events are also eye-catching, with illuminated displays and Narnia themes.

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/ Canterbury Tour

I booked the Leeds Castle, Canterbury and Dover Cliff tour for me and my hubby! Worth it!...especially if you have David as your guide, as he is FULL of knowledge with the history of England! We had a small group of 9, which made it even better. Reg, is a great driver! He knew which lanes to go to/ stay on, as traffic got a bit heavier. We ended with a river boat/Uber boat ride, a bonus to see a wide spred of tourist sites along the way back to your stop. An AMAZING full day!

Amazing and well-worth the money

Amazing experience! I loved each piece of the tour. Our guide, Chrissy, and our driver, Pip, were excellent. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. This tour was well worth the money, and the EvanEvans tours always provide very clean and comfortable couches. This one had a bathroom on board which I think is extremely important especially for aged customers.

Look at ALL the small print

BE VERY VERY careful - we had confirmation several times that xe HAD booked our inside Canterbury Cathedral tour and found ourselves having to pay it again at the Cathedral. Thank goodness we had an excellent and knowledgable guide who made up for the unpleasant surprise. Don't just read the first page read ALL the pages! Even then it wasn't clear that xe hadn't paid.

Leeds Castle, Canterbury Cathedral and Cliffs of Dover Day Trip

Anthony_W, Jul 2024

Great to see Canterbury Cathedral & Leeds Castle

Loved Leeds Castle and Canterbury Cathedral. Cliffs of Dover were disappointing mostly because the white is covered by green foliage now. The beach is a rock beach, not a sandy beach. Our tour guide Chrissy was very knowledgeable, had a soothing voice, and shared good information. The bus was clean and looked new but was too compact leg room wise for a 111 hour trip. I’m only 5’ 8” and my knees were pressed into the back of the seat in front of me. Not comfortable!
