We’ve launched The Beach at Leeds Castle. Yes, a beach!
There is tons of sand to play and build your own Leeds Castle in, space to make new memories, and whilst we can’t bring the sea to the countryside, there is everything you need for a family day out… and if you are lucky, you might even catch some rays.
Grab your bucket and spade, dig out your beach towel, and tuck into a mouth-watering ice cream, as you spend the day perched on deck chairs enjoying the views and even a sandy surprise or two.
The Beach is located opposite the amazing Maze & Grotto, giving families the chance to also explore our two thrilling playgrounds, challenging obstacle course, and of course meet our magnificent birds of prey.
There is also time to relax on our man-made sandy shores, with views overlooking our stunning Great Water as the birds fly up into the parklands. And after a day by the sand, take a few moments through the tranquil sun-drenched Lady Baillie Mediterranean Gardens before you head home.





During a heatwave, there are many ways to stay cool and refreshed at Leeds Castle. Read about them here.
Please note, The Beach does not feature water. Swimming is not permitted in The Great Water (located near The Beach). Buckets and spades are not provided, but you can bring your own or purchase them in the Stronghold shops.
