This place has an awesome echo! Give it a Go

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.

Encompassing a stretch of 3 kilometers along the northern bank of the River Leam, this nature reserve features a diverse range of habitats including woodlands, grasslands, marshes, and ponds. The ecological significance of this area lies in its capacity to support various bird species, butterflies, dragonflies, and a vibrant array of wildflowers. Apart from this, the reserve also has amenities such as a skateboard park, an adventure playground, and a dedicated area for children's play. These facilities have been strategically situated at a distance to ensure minimal disruption to the local wildlife.

Not a hint but here's some History you might find interesting. 😁 The Grand Union Canal is a waterway in England that was originally built to connect London and Birmingham. It was constructed in several phases over a period of more than 100 years, beginning in the late 18th century. The Leamington Railway Aqueduct, also known as the Leamington Spa Viaduct, is a notable feature of the canal, located in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. The Leamington Railway Aqueduct was built in the mid-19th century as part of a project to create a railway line that would pass over the Grand Union Canal. The railway line, which was part of the London and Birmingham Railway Company's main line, was constructed between 1837 and 1838 and was one of the earliest railway lines in the country. The original design of the railway line called for a tunnel to be built under the canal, but this was deemed too costly and difficult to construct. Instead, the railway engineers decided to build a viaduct that would carry the railway line over the canal. The Leamington Railway Aqueduct was designed by the engineer William Cubitt, and construction began in 1844. The aqueduct is an impressive structure, consisting of 13 arches that span the canal and surrounding countryside. The arches are made of brick and are supported by cast-iron columns and crossbeams. The viaduct was completed in 1846 and opened to rail traffic the following year. The Leamington Railway Aqueduct was an important engineering achievement of its time, and it remains an impressive sight today. It is a Grade II listed structure, meaning that it is considered to be of special historical and architectural significance. It is also an important part of the local landscape and is popular with visitors who come to admire its impressive design and engineering prowess.

These sculptures were created to remind visitors of the rich geological history of the Ryton Pools where pieces of neck, tooth and tusk of the straight-tusked elephant were found in the local sand quarries. These massive creatures roamed this area half a million years ago and the life size sculptures bring to life the ancient history of the park.

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.

Funded through the National Lottery Heritage Fund the Dunsmore Living Landscape scheme aims to restore the most significant area of ancient woodland in Warwickshire, increase landscape connectivity through the restoration of hedgerows, grasslands, ponds and heritage sites and engage local communities in a programme of natural  and heritage-related activities. These metal sculptures were created and installed to help bring to life the geological history of the Dunsmore Living Landscape Scheme area at Ryton Pools, where pieces of neck bone, tooth and tusk of the Straight-tusked elephant Palaeoloxodon antiquus, were all found in the local sand quarries. The sculptures were a collaboration between Spencer Jenkins, a green wood and metalwork artist (designer, and project manager), and Artfabs Ltd, a specialist fabrication contractor who will assist with larger construction challenges. These creatures would have roamed the area around half a million years ago. The life size sculptures will bring to life the ancient history of the park and reflect important palaeontological finds made on the site during quarrying.

Although part of Ryton Wood was lost to sand and gravel extraction in the 1960s, the wood has been returned to its present excellence though traditional management practices, and is one of the county's largest surviving semi-natural ancient woodlands.   Arguably the best of the Princethorpe Woods, Ryton Wood covers 85 hectares, has been designated as an SSSI and boasts an extensive list of notable species.   Parts of Ryton Wood date back to the 11th century, so the land may have been wooded since the end of last ice age. Finding coppiced, small-leaved lime stools is evidence to support this. Once the most common tree 5,000 years ago, the species is no longer so common. Huge ditches also indicate the wood’s ancient, medieval boundaries.   Forty or so species of tree and shrub have been identified, with oak the dominant tree. An abundance of honeysuckle, our county flower, scrambles through the lower-growing hazel - enjoy its sweet perfume on summer days.

Leam Valley Nature Reserve is a haven for wildlife next to the River Leam. Keep a look out for kingfishers, otters, grass snakes, dragonflies and damselflies as you explore. The reserve also boasts many species of wildflowers, including river marsh-marigold, yellow iris and purple-loosestrife flower.

The trail meanders through the site starting at the entrance opposite the far end of Jephson Gardens - follow the wooden markers! While you're here try spotting the numerous fish in the River Leam where roach, perch and common bream lurk in the depths. A magnificent range of dragonflies and damselflies flit along its banks including banded demoiselle, darters, chasers, hawkers and the emperor dragonfly. Kingfishers can be spotted here and are known to breed along the river. The elusive grass snake may be seen as it swims amongst arrowhead, yellow water-lilies and flowering-rush. At the edge of the river marsh-marigold, yellow iris and purple-loosestrife flower alongside rushes, sweet-grass and common reed. It is hoped that one day soon, this ideal habitat will welcome the arrival of otter as it gradually re-colonises the county. The rich marsh is dense with many marsh-loving plants, including cuckoo flower, ragged-robin and even the rare snakes-head fritillary. Over the largest area of grassland, cowslips are charmingly scattered amongst the many species of grasses. An abundance of butterflies are attracted including brimstone, peacock, comma and red admiral, with plenty of browns, whites and skippers.

White marble statue of Dr Jephson, by Peter Hollins of Birmingham, which was exhibited in the Royal Academy in 1848. Statue contained in a circular, stone, domed Pavilion with Corinthian order and eight attached columns.

The Glasshouse, in Jephson Gardens, opened in 2003. It was built on the site of a redundant nursery as part of the Heritage Lottery funded restoration of Jephson Gardens. The Glasshouse houses a range of beautiful tropical and temperate plants including banana, pink powder puff and bird of paradise. There is also a popular goldfish pond, observation beehive and a slate sculpture designed by David Wilson.
