The castle was founded after the Norman Conquest of 1066; with development through to the Tudor period. It has been described by the architectural historian Anthony Emery as "the finest surviving example of a semi-royal palace of the later middle ages, significant for its scale, form and quality of workmanship". Kenilworth played an important historical role: it was the subject of the six-month-long siege of Kenilworth in 1266, thought to be the longest siege in medieval English history, and formed a base for Lancastrian operations in the Wars of the Roses. Kenilworth was the scene of the removal of Edward II from the English throne, the perceived French insult to Henry V in 1414 of a gift of tennis balls (said by John Strecche to have prompted the campaign that led to the Battle of Agincourt), and the Earl of Leicester's lavish reception of Elizabeth I in 1575. It has been described as "one of two major castles in Britain which may be classified as water-castles or lake-fortresses...

Drop down and corner past a medieval castle. Pretty cool.

From here it is 'just' 185 locks to get to London ;-)

Beautiful and well preserved half-timbered building, you will not find many in similar style and quality around. Even if you do not enter the museum it is worth a detour to have a view.

Nice Circular Walk using a mixture of Canal towpath fieldpaths and minor link roads.

A prime tourist spot lots of people taking wedding photos outside

Great place it's really cool to see the lock working

One of the finest examples of a semi-royal palace of the later middle ages. Built over 900 years ago the castle has survived a six month siege, it was an important base in the War of the Roses and hosted queen Elizabeth 1st. Today it's managed by English Heritage and hosts jousts and re-enactments as well as themed days. Non members pay entry. Café and facilities on site. Open 10:00 - 17:00 mon to fri.

Kenilworth's impressive 12th century Norman keep, still a dominant feature today, would have been the heart of castle life for 500 years. A defensive powerhouse, it was built three stories high and with walls 14 feet wide. Entry is paid or with English Heritage membership, but the view of the castle from the road is good.

A small restored 16th century half timbered house on Henley Street where it is believed that William Shakespeare was born in 1564. There is a small museum is open daily from 10:00 - 17:00.

Nice place with a beautiful Garden good to walk from Baddesley to Packwood

A small but worth a visit NT place, incorporate Packwood house as well for a full day out.

One of 2 National Trusts here, we usually park at one and do a circular walk via the other (Packwood House)

A truly unique place, all the usual bits and bobs at a NT place, but this resembles a castle rather than a house with its own moat fully encompassing it.

NT Badsley Clinton is a great property food for a walk o. Summer

Good place to explore

Wonderful National Trust property
