Leeds Castle
Known as the ‘Loveliest Castle in the World’, Leeds Castle is the perfect place to let your little ones loose to explore and soak in the beauty of the Kent countryside.
With lots to do, you are spoilt for choice. Have a go on Elsie the Castle Train, the Black Swan Ferry or walk through the gardens. Ignite a passion for falconry, marvel in the architecture of the Castle and explore the children’s playgrounds.

Groombridge Enchanted Forest and Treetop Walkway
Re-opening 7 March, this is a spectacular gem of Kent!
A place for making memories. A family home for hundreds of years, now invites you to play in their enchanted forest.
Make the most of Crusoe’s World’s pirate ships, gang planks, rope ladders and bridges, vast climbing frames – everything a budding pirate or captain needs for a swashbuckling adventure and imagination-fuelled playtime.
Play on the giant swings, board walk and giant chess board – sounds like one day won’t be enough!
And if your little one is still not old enough to enjoy this, take the opportunity to walk around the formal gardens instead.
