Myfanwe Says: St Nicholas’ Church is situated in High Street, and looks out over Abbey Fields. The exact date of its founding isn’t known, but by 1291 it was in the patronage of the Priory of Kenilworth.
Myfanwe Says: We took a stroll around the streets of Kenilworth and were delighted to see some fabulous looking houses, quaint thatched cottages and some very grand residences indeed. Many of these great buildings are listed and are in excellent condition.
Myfanwe Says: The Abbey pond is situated between the Abbey Fields and the Castle. The present pool in Abbey Fields gives an idea of a medieval water feature. There is a lovely path which hugs the perimiter of the pond if you fancy a stroll or it's an ideal place for a picnic on a summers...

Various: Lots of Nice Coffee Shops
Myfanwe Says: Kenilworth has lots of lovely looking Cafe's and Coffee shops - ideal after a tiring day looking around the Castle.
After a long day looking around the Abbey, Castle and exploring the streets of Kenilworth, we decided to stop off for a drink at this lovely pub. It is situated on the Main Road which runs through Kenilworth, right opposite the Castle. We were lucky enough to visit on a lovely sunny day & sat outside on one of the tables in the garden. Even though we didn't eat here, we had a peek at the menu which looked very good indeed.

Have a walk through Abbey Fields
Don12 Says: When you have finished inside the Castle, take a walk around it's external walls and if you have time, walk through the Abbey Fields adjacent to the Castle.
See a fine example of a Castle from Tudor times
Don12 Says: It's a ruin...Henry VIII destroyed it...but a fascinating place all the same. You can see it coming into view at the foot of Castle Hill
Helpfulness
Favorite thing: Almost 40 events over a three-day period organised by the Rotary Club of Kenilworth, with the main event being the Festival of Music in the Castle. This year (2008) the festival is held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (18-20 July). On each evening there is an open-air concert in Kenilworth Castle (courtesy of English Heritage) with a 45 piece professional orchestra and soloists. The Castle is open from 5.30pm for picnics and free wine tasting, provided by Sainsburys, with the concerts commencing at 7.00pm.
Other events planned are an Art Show, Battle of the Bands, Old Time Music Hall, Face Painting, Pig Roast, a Sedan Chair Race and various other events.
The Festival will continue as an Annual Event.
