The castle is a lovely Elizabethan ruin and now boasts restored Elizabethan garden complete with an aviary. Bring a picnic and eat it within the grounds - the choice of food there is small and the service sometimes slow especially when busy. A picnic in the grounds is wonderful to do. There are loads of nooks and crannies to explore... more

Kenilworth Castle is a fairly well maintained castle and grounds that is well worth a visit. It is far different from nearby Warwick Castle but not directly comparable. I personally find both sites interesting, worth a visit, but for different reasons. If you want a modern take on medieval life then visit Warwick but if you're looking for beautiful ruins... more

I would prefer to rate the castle a 3.5 instead of a three. It really is an interesting historical site.

Kenilworth Castle is a good contrast to the more touristy Warwick Castle, its neighbor. It is spacious and almost never crowded, surrounded by beautiful scenery (and a lovely 1.5 mile walk circling the castle fields). The newly restored Elizabethan gardens are stunning. Audio guide recommended. A wonderful quiet alternative to the crowds at Warwick. more

We had just spent a woeful couple of hours at Warwick Castle and so decided to come here. It restored our faith! Great to climb around, loads of history, good interpretation boards, super shop, lovely staff, great location. This is the castle to come to to learn about the Dudley family. Superb afternoon out ( and great value for money) more

I was brought up in Kenilworth and after they had made it 'better' I went to check it out. For a start...the shop made no sense as it was set back from actual enterance and this was where you purchase your tickets. And there were no staff to see if anyone was just strolling in without paying. We were given... more
