Kenilworth Castle A spectacular castle ruin sets the scene of a royal love story between Elizabeth I and Robert Dudley Please email us at [email protected].
(3108)

A vast medieval fortress which became an Elizabethan palace, Kenilworth Castle is one of England's largest and most impressive historic sites. Spanning more than eight centuries, the varied buildings and architectural styles reflect its long connection with successive English monarchs. Visit the impressively-timbered Tudor stables, which now house the castle's tearoom and a fascinating interactive display on the castle's history, or stroll around the re-created Elizabethan Garden which features a Renaissance aviary, magnificent carved arbours, an 18-foot high marble fountain, and a planting scheme abundant in colour, perfume and fruit.

🪶silence in the aviary. 🕊️

Do you love the birds at Kenilworth Castle? We do too! That is why the Canaries and quail have taken a break from our Elizabethan gardens and gone on a six week holiday 🌴

This is to enable us to carry out essential repairs to the aviary to make sure the structure is worthy of impressing Tudor royalty. But, also to improve the building so it will last for many more years and to improve the welfare of the birds.

Part 2 of our miniseries on how Henry V’s life was tied to Kenilworth! 👑

As a commenter pointed out in our previous video, Henry may also have spent a lot more of his earlier life at Kenilworth than we know, as his grandfather was the legendary John of Gaunt, 14th century owner of the castle and responsible for Kenilworth changing from a fortress into a luxurious medieval palace… 🏰

We hope you enjoyed watching - let us know if there are any other key figures in Kenilworth’s history you’d like us to feature in a future video! 😊👇
