Kenilworth is a town and civil parish in the county of Warwickshire. It is situated on Finham Brook, a tributary to the River Sowe, which joins the River Avon about two miles north-east of the centre of the town. The 2011 Census recorded that the town has a population of 22413. Being five miles south-west of Coventry's city centre, Kenilworth is characterised as a dormitory town for commuters to Coventry, along with to other nearby cities and large towns, such as Birmingham and Leamington Spa. Whilst it is near to the University of Warwick in Coventry, the student population of the town continues to be fairly modest, consisting predominately of postgraduate students and staff at the university. The town is primarily well-known for the ruins and stunning gardens of Kenilworth Castle, which was founded around 1120 in the Norman period, but continued to be inhabited up until the end of the Tudor period. After 1983, Kenilworth Rotary Club has set up a fun run in June between Warwick Castle and Kenilworth Castle, called the 2 Castles Run, which attracts increasing numbers of attendees, with 3000 entrants in 2010 and 4000 in 2011. Kenilworth Abbey in Abbey Fields Park, St. Nicholas' Parish Church, and Kenilworth Clock, together with The Cross, a Michelin Star pub, are also attractive locations for travelers and visitors to the town. Kenilworth is home to many independent retailers and businesses, but the streets are increasingly filled by high street stores, providing its residents and visitors an abundance of possibilities to shop.
