“The loveliest Castle in the world”, Leeds Castle is surrounded by 500 acres of parkland and a glossy lake. In its past, the castle has been a Norman stronghold; the private property of six of England’s medieval queens; a palace used by Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon; a Jacobean country house; a Georgian mansion; and an elegant early 20th century retreat for the influential and famous. In the 21st century, it has become one of the most visited historic buildings in Britain – and this semester, you’re invited to join its visitors.
