About this place:

Leeds Castle dates back to 1119, though it is made up of a number of different style form various eras. It has a Norman foundation, a medieval gatehouse, a Tudor tower and a 19th century manor house. The grounds also have a good maze, a grotto, an aviary, numerous black swans, a golf course and a dog collar museum. The castle itself is in excellent condition, the owners sided with the Parliamentarians during the Civil War, so i didn't face the sort of destruction that other castles did.
