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 approximately 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, as well as to other close-by 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 fairly small, consisting mainly of postgraduate students and staff at the university. The town is primarily renowned for the ruins and stunning gardens of Kenilworth Castle, which was founded around 1120 in the Norman period, but continued to be inhabited till 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, referred to as the Two Castles Run, which draws in 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, along with The Cross, a Michelin Star pub, are also attractive locations for tourists and visitors to the town. Kenilworth is home to lots of independent merchants and businesses, but the streets are increasingly filled by high street stores, providing its residents and visitors numerous opportunities to shop. For all your home upgrades, make certain to make usage of reputable professionals in Kenilworth to make certain of quality.
