You can visit the maze, the dog collar museum, the gatehouse exhibition, and the Knights Stronghold Playground (open from April 2019 onwards). Seasonal opening hours vary, so check the English Heritage website before your visit. The castle operates in all weather, so dress accordingly.

Is this one for you?The six-hour total duration (including travel both ways and three hours at the castle) fits a port day if you're docking at Dover and staying in London that night, but leaves little time for other central London stops. Book this if Leeds Castle is your main priority and you're heading to a London hotel afterward.
