Why the name is confusing

Many visitors assume it is in the city of Leeds in West Yorkshire, but the castle is actually beside the small village of Leeds in Kent, which is what its name refers to. This mix‑up regularly causes tourists and wedding guests to travel to the wrong Leeds before realising the castle is hundreds of miles away in the south‑east.
