Leeds Castle

Called the loveliest castle in the UK, I have my own favourites to rival this claim, but it certainly is in my top five.

On huge sweeping grounds and waterways, it has an army of gardeners with all thier tools keeping it pristine... I can't begin to imagine how many were employed here before modern times.

So much to enjoy snd relax by here, it was a shame only to have a day here.

I think Warwick castle has had the best falconry show so far but the draw cards for me to show the kuds was the unusual dog collar museum and the maze with grotto( see other posts!)

Beautiful Cotswolds

Everywhere you look at the cotswolds, there is a perfect postcard picture ready to take. Small creeks and streams are a feature here, as are gorgeous ivy covered cottages and old wooden and stone bridges.

I think now the towns exist for the sake of tourists.. But. They are beautiful.

We visited Bibury as well.. The home of the trout farm. The picture above is of the kids feeding the very fat fish.

Dog Collar Museum at Leeds

Unbelievably.. Yes there is a collection of dog collars and its at Leeds Castle.

Gorgeous, utilitarian and some downright scary.
