Leeds Castle – A picture perfect place all year round
The gorgeous estate that surrounds Leeds Castle is one of the most photogenic parts of Kent. Your hide photography experience will provide the ideal introduction, and an opportunity to capture on camera some unforgettable shots of the wildlife wonders that share this wonderful space with us. Some are with us all year round, others prefer to visit us for a season at a time.
No two visits are ever the same and you’ll need a degree of patience as you hold steady and focus on capturing those special moments. What you will find quickly is how soon you forget the wider world as you switch off from the everyday. Our wildlife hide is the perfect spot for those not in a hurry and a day you’ll always remember.
