Kenilworth Castle and Elizabethan Garden Ticket

About this activity

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.

Itinerary

  1. Kenilworth Castle

    Admission included

    There’s plenty to explore at Kenilworth, from the Tower and gardens to the Keep and Great Hall. Discover the full height of Leicester’s Building, created by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, to impress Elizabeth I. Climb to the queen’s apartments for stunning views across the castle and countryside, see her private staircase, and imagine the elegant long gallery once filled with light from vast glass windows. Interpretation throughout brings this Tudor palace to life.

    Follow in the footsteps of Elizabeth I through the beautifully recreated Elizabethan Garden, a peaceful space of colour and fragrant walkways. Restored to reflect its original splendour, it is considered the most complete evocation of an Elizabethan garden in the world.

    Admire Kenilworth’s mighty Norman keep, the heart of castle life for 500 years, built three storeys high with walls 14 feet thick and still dominating the site today.
