The English call Leeds Castle "the loveliest castle in the world," and for good reason. Built in 857, the castle has been home to such English
royalty as Edward I, Henry V and Henry VIII. Inside, visitors can see centuries-old paintings, tapestries and furniture. Outside, the grounds are often shrouded in a morning mist, which, as the day goes on, lifts to reveal
exquisite gardens, vineyards and even a golf course. An aviary, set in a walled garden and overlooking the lake, houses a variety of birds, including parrots, parakeets and softbills. But the most
elegant activity at Leeds Castle is the black-tie dinner in the Henry VIII Banqueting Hall, served by a
butler and footmen. It's an experience fit for a king.
