Morning light breaks across the M25 and the vehicle slides out of London toward Kent, the farmland opening into clipped parkland as Leeds Castle rises from its moat. Guests step from the car into a patchwork of lawns, drawbridges and stone façades that have sheltered queens and courtiers; two hours here allows a slow walk through the chapel, galleries and the banqueting hall, and time to move around the castle’s grounds and lakes.
