The Reading Room

Leeds Castle library is most definitely a place I never want to forget. One of the many rooms I visited was the library. Containing over 3,000 books it was really charming way to end the tour around one of the most amazing castle's in the country!

As you can see, the books were ordered according to colour and size, an aesthetic detail that really appeals to me. Although a lot can be said for the traditional alphabetical ordering, I don't mind taking longer to search for a book if the overall look is so pleasing to the eye. Imagine having your own library, complete with comfy sofa, view of a moat and castle grounds and yeah, even a creepy portrait of a girl holding a bird - it's the quirky touches like that, that made me love this library so much.
