In the quiet countryside of Kent, England, a fairytale castle has stood quietly for 900 years - here is Leeds Castle, the "loveliest castle in the world". It was once the private residence of six medieval queens, and was transformed into a royal palace by Henry VIII. Now it is known as the "Ladies' Castle", a romantic secret place where history and nature are intertwined. Cross the winding moat and touch the ancient stone walls of the Norman era. Every brick and stone hides a story: from the beacon tower of William the Conqueror to the magnificent palace of the Tudor Dynasty, every expansion of the castle is engraved with the mark of power and love. Look, under that Gothic stained glass window, did the young Henry VIII whisper with Queen Catherine here? Stepping into the castle, it seems as if time has gone back. The intricate oak carved dome, the sparkling Venetian glass chandeliers, the tapestries of Elizabeth I... The most stunning is the Gloriana Gallery - 2,000 handmade golden roses blooming on the ceiling, paying tribute to the golden age of the 'Virgin Queen'.
Leeds castle is really worth visiting. We came with a tour group and there were English explanations. There are many collections of the British royal family here. The interior decoration is really luxurious and court-style. The furniture and oil paintings are all top-notch. There are also oil paintings of Henry VIII here, and the fireplace feels very retro.
