The vast medieval fortress of Kenilworth Castle is one of the largest historic visitor attractions in the West Midlands and one of the most spectacular castle ruins in England.

A brilliant day out for the whole family, Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire is set in vast grounds perfect for exploring.

The ruins are best known as the home of Robert Dudley, the great love of Queen Elizabeth I. Dudley created an ornate palace here to impress his beloved Queen in 1575.

The newly re-created Elizabethan Garden, lost for 400 years, is now open to visitors once more. A paradise for garden lovers, wander through this sumptuous landscape as Queen Elizabeth I would have done herself.

The tearoom is open daily (10.30 am - 4.30 pm) from April to October. From November to March it is open Fri, Sat and Sun only (10.30 am - 3.30 pm).
