Leeds Castle
Originally built as a Norman castle in the early 12th century. For some 300 years, from the 13th to 16th century the castle was in royal ownership and was the home of seven of England's queens
Lady Olive Baillie bought the castle in 1925 and renovated it in the 1930s in a grand French style then becoming known for lavish hospitality for leading statesmen, European royalty and film stars.
In addition to the castle there are extensive gardens, and a display of birds of prey. Restaurants and cafes to suit all tastes
The plan is to leave Camelot at 9.00 and, subject to traffic
conditions, arrive at Leeds around 11.00. We will head for home at
16.00.
