Leeds Castle lies 4 miles southeast of Maidstone, Kent, England, and dates back to 1119, though a manor house stood on the same site from the 9th century. It was once inhabited by Henry VIII's wife Catherine of Aragon.

It has Norman foundations, a medieval gatehouse, the Gloriette built by Edward I and updated in Henry VIII's times, a Tudor tower, and a 19th century country house - all of which were substantially refurbished in the 20th century. The Castle is also situated on an island surrounded by a moat.
