Advantages: great family day out

Disadvantages: not much good in the rain

Kenilworth castle has somewhat been forgotten as one of warwickshire beauties.
The castle is just a few miles from Warwick, and is less of a tourist attraction than Warwick castle, it is rather untouched. Much of the castle is in ruins now, which you can explore and climb to the top, where you will encounter sensational views. The castle gardens are also a must see, which look beautiful, especially in those summer months.
You can also buy audio headphones that will tell you all about the castle, definately worth a buy.
The parking is sufficient, and there is a stunning park and lake right next to the castle, which makes a great day out.
Its worth noting that the castle is national trust, so if you have a membership you can get in for free. Other wise its £5.90 adults and £3.00 children. Which in comparison with other castles is quite a good price.
The cafe is quite nice, and has out door and indoor seating, but be warned the food and drinks can be expensive. There are lots of space around the castle to have a picnic.
The castle isnt huge, but its a great place to spend a few hours, especially on a nice day. Its best seen on a nice day, as there arent many places to shelter.
Definately one of warwickshires must see's.
