LEEDS CASTLE - 12 DECEMBER 2011

This is beautiful Leeds Castle. The prettiest castle so far. It's situated on two islands - the biggest part on a big one and the other, with no land around it on the other and are connected by the hallways over the water. It's really quite something. But, I was very disappointed because they had everything covered with Christmas decorations and we couldn't even see anything. I wish they would stay with minimal stuff - but they want to please the kids that come and so they do theme rooms. Like the Mad Hatter's tea room - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Swan Lake - you get my drift. We will go back in the spring and see it again.

The dining room. Quite impressive.


These people are quite impressive too. In the library.


Susan, every time I see a tapistry I think of you.


Chapel


This is one of the hallways across the water connecting the two parts of the castle.




Ancient stuff.





These stairs go up from the wine cellar.


The oldest part of the castle - dating from Norman times. Wine cellar.
