Plague in 1665 when it was used for mass burials.
Leeds
Castle
-Described by
Lord Conway as "the loveliest Castle in the world", the
castle was home to the medieval queens of England. It is set
on two islands surrounded by a still lake and 400 acres of
glorious gardens.
The castle was
originally the site of a manor of the Saxon royal family. It
was first built in stone by the Normans and fortified by the
great castle-builder Edward I. Henry VIII transformed the
fine apartments we see today. The Castle contains a
wonderful collection of furniture, tapestries and art which
will be explained by in-house guides. There will be time to
see the dog collar collection and aviary of unusual birds.
This tour returns at around 18.30.
