ll schools will benefit from a day trip to Leeds Castle, whether the focus of the visit is to learn about the castle’s history, discover the wildlife in the grounds, meet exotic bird species in our aviary or develop skills in one of our popular themed workshops. The results are always the same, happy, inspired children and delighted teachers!
