Kenilworth
Kenilworth is a town and civil parish in the county of Warwickshire. It is set on Finham Brook, a tributary to the River Sowe, which joins the River Avon around 2 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 surrounding 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 is fairly modest, consisting mostly of postgraduate students and staff at the university. The town is particularly popular for the ruins and lovely gardens of Kenilworth Castle, which was founded around 1120 in the Norman period, but continued to be lived in until the end of the Tudor period. Since 1983, Kenilworth Rotary Club has actually organised a fun run in June between Warwick Castle and Kenilworth Castle, referred to as the Two Castles Run, which brings 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, in addition to The Cross, a Michelin Star pub, are also attractive places for travelers and visitors to the town. Kenilworth is the home of many independent retailers and businesses, but the streets are increasingly filled by high street stores, offering its residents and visitors plenty of opportunities to shop. For all your house upgrades, make sure to make use of respected professionals in Kenilworth to make certain of quality.
