Kenilworth
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 about 2 miles north-east of the centre of the town. The 2011 Census recorded that the town has a population of 22413. Being 5 miles south-west of Coventry's city centre, Kenilworth is characterised as a dormitory town for commuters to Coventry, together with to other nearby cities and large towns, such as Birmingham and Leamington Spa. Although it is close to the University of Warwick in Coventry, the student population of the town continues to be relatively small, consisting mostly of postgraduate students and staff at the university. The town is primarily renowned for the ruins and lovely gardens of Kenilworth Castle, which was established 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, called the Two Castles Run, which brings 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 areas for tourists and visitors to the town. Kenilworth is home to many independent merchants and businesses, but the streets are progressively filled by high street stores, offering its inhabitants and visitors numerous possibilities to shop.
