Lovely Leeds Castle

“Better to see something once than hear about it a thousand times.” – Asian proverb

Seven different queens lived here over the centuries. In the 1920’s an Anglo- American woman named Mary Braille purchased the castle. Mary was a wealthy socialite who turned the place into “party central”. When she died in 1974 she left it to the National Trust and it is now a popular destination for locals and tourists.
