Leeds Castle is a castle located in Kent, England, 7 miles (11 km) southeast of Maidstone. To the east of the village of Leeds, it is situated on islands in a lake created by the River Len. Since 857, the castle has stood on the location. It passed into the hands of King Edward I in the 13th century, who made it his favorite home. In the 16th century, Henry VIII used it as a house for his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. The current castle was built primarily in the 19th century. Since 1976, it has been accessible to the public.

A Saxon chief named Led or Leed owned the place starting in 857, and on two islands in the middle of the River Len, he constructed a wooden building. Leeds Castle was passed down through the de Crevecoeur family until the 1260s after Robert de Crevecoeur constructed it in stone as a Norman stronghold in 1119. Because it was rebuilt and altered over the ensuing years, it is unclear what form this Norman fortress took. It might have been a motte and bailey, according to Adrian Pettifer. In 1519, Henry VIII made changes to the castle for his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. There is still a painting there honoring his visit with Francis I of France.

The church windows were modified and repaired in 1536 by the glazier Galyon Hone. Sir Anthony St Leger of Ulcombe, Kent, whose grandfather Ralph I St Leger of Ulcombe, Sheriff of Kent in 1467–1468 and Constable of Leeds Castle, had been awarded Leeds Castle in 1552, died in 1559. The castle was owned by Robert Fairfax for 46 years until it was given to the Wykeham Martins in 1793. The sale of the family's Virginia properties generated a sizable sum of money that enabled substantial Tudor-style remodeling of the castle, which was finished in 1823 and gave it its current appearance.

In 1980, an aviary was added, and by 2011, it had over 100 species. However, in October 2012, it was decided to close the aviary because the foundation could use the £200,000 a year it cost to operate it more effectively. The castle's grounds include a golf course and what might be the world's only dog collar museum. They are a popular location for leisure activities. Two children's adventure play areas with a castle motif are available, one for children under seven and one for children under fourteen. In 1988, a maze made of 2,400 yew trees that resembled a topiary castle was unveiled. The center is located on a high platform that also has an exit through a cave made of shells.
