Discover the rich history of Kenilworth Castle and its stunning Elizabethan Garden. Kenilworth’s greatest period began when Elizabeth I’s childhood friend, Robert Dudley took possession of the castle in 1563. He spent fortunes turning it into a showpiece mansion to impress the queen. Climb up to the queen’s apartments for fantastic views over the castle and surrounding countryside. Explore the spectacular garden Dudley created just for his 1575 visit, including a Renaissance aviary, plant beds full of scent, colour and fruit, and an imposing fountain.
