Can anyone explain why Leeds Castle is nowhere near Leeds?

I've done my best. You'd think Americans would be used to more than one place having the same name, but somehow they still get mixed up. Bagpuss

On that note:

"The castle and grounds lie to the East of the village of Leeds, which should not be confused with the city of Leeds, hundreds of miles to the north"

"Hundreds of miles" should be replaced with the exact distance if somebody could find out. Lee M 01:03, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

why? if you put the exact distance in, it might suggest it has some sort of significance? the two are not related, and "hundreds of miles" serves that purpose better than a precise distance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackariasd (talk • contribs) 23:42, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
