Kenilworth is a town and civil parish in the county of Warwickshire. It is located on Finham Brook, a tributary to the River Sowe, which joins the River Avon close to two miles north-east of the centre of the town. The 2011 Census reported 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, in addition to to other surrounding 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 relatively small, consisting primarily of postgraduate students and staff at the university. The town is primarily widely known for the ruins and lovely gardens of Kenilworth Castle, which was founded around 1120 in the Norman period, but continued to be lived in till the end of the Tudor period. Since 1983, Kenilworth Rotary Club has set up a fun run in June between Warwick Castle and Kenilworth Castle, referred to as the Two Castles Run, which draws in 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 places 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 stores, providing its residents and visitors plenty of possibilities to shop.
