Kenilworth, England's finest and most extensive castle ruin, described by Simon Schama's team as an 'historian's dream'. Experience a fascinating journey through history, from royal battles in the Middle Ages to Elizabethan grandeur and glory.
The town of Kenilworth is also worth exploring. With a variety of small shops, good choice of restaurants and regular markets there is much to tempt both purse and palate! There are some great walks in and around the Castle and Abbey Fields.
Attractions within the local area include the National Trust properties of Packwood House (with its glorious gardens) and Baddelsley Clinton (a medieval moated manor house). Hatton Country World, with its farm park and shopping village, is a few miles away, as is Stoneleigh Abbey, with its magnificent state rooms and glorious parkland.
Stoneleigh is home to two of the area's greatest events. The Royal Show in July is a great day out for food, gardening, shopping and the countryside! The Town & Country Festival in August is particularly popular with families.
Whatever the time of year, Kenilworth is a great choice for a short break or a longer holiday.
