General Information

I first visited Kennilworth Castle in Warwickshire because it was near where I was residing while working in a neighboring town. I thought is was pretty cool that there was a castle down the road. It turned out to be a really nice place to visit.

I then traveled a bit further with some co-workers and found Warwick Castle on weekend, which ended up being a really fantastic site as well as a nice area to visit.

Kenilworth Castle

We found some links to other sites that will provide far more information about Kenilworth than we ever could:

360 degree history web site - Kenilworth
History of Kenilworth Castle and the town
Victoria Lodge - my favorite of all places to stay in the area

Special thanks to Andy for helping me to identify a photo as being that of Lunn's Tower at Kenilworth. Lunn's Tower is in the first photo below.

There is even a haunted tower that you can climb up. Adjacent to the castle is a wonderful rose garden with peacocks wandering around in the back of the castle.
