Leeds Castle - the most 'British' of castles.



Leeds Castle we visited on a most dull and overcast day. As yet it really is worth a visit. The castle like so many historical buildings was built in stages over hundreds of years. What really is amazing is part of it dates back to 1119. This is so old as yet it was used as recently as official government conference centre for the arrangements for the Bosnian peal accord. I may be slightly wrong but it is still used for official purposes rather than just a tourist castle. This castle remained in private hands until 1974. I was alive when this was a private home.. Here are a few more pictures a part of your personal library and your nice front drive.
