Kenilworth
Kenilworth is a town and civil parish in the county of Warwickshire. It is positioned on Finham Brook, a tributary to the River Sowe, which joins the River Avon almost two miles north-east of the centre of the town. The 2011 Census documented 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, as well as to other neighboring cities and large towns, such as Birmingham and Leamington Spa. Even though it is near to the University of Warwick in Coventry, the student population of the town stays fairly modest, consisting mainly of postgraduate students and staff at the university. The town is primarily popular for the ruins and stunning gardens of Kenilworth Castle, which was founded around 1120 in the Norman period, but continued to be lived in up until the end of the Tudor period. Since 1983, Kenilworth Rotary Club has organised a fun run in June between Warwick Castle and Kenilworth Castle, known as the Two Castles Run, which attracts increasing numbers of participants, 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 areas for travelers and visitors to the town. Kenilworth is the home of numerous independent retailers and businesses, but the streets are progressively filled by high street shops, providing its inhabitants and visitors plenty of opportunities to shop. For all of your home upgrades, make certain to make use of reputable contractors in Kenilworth to make certain of quality.
