Points of Interest

Kenilworth Castle - The architecture of the castle spans the Norman to Tudor periods and in spite of its ruination, it’s a magnificent sight, especially in the evening when the setting sun highlights the red sandstone. From the castle, the walk takes you through delightful countryside. Deer Park Farm is named after the royal deer park which once surrounded the castle.

The earthworks of the Pleasaunce - If time permits, having completed the Millenium Way circular, it is worth walking a further 1.5 miles around the castle on the Millennium Trail - details from the castle. You will see stunning views of the castle, pass the Pleasaunce (earthworks for King Henry V’s pleasure house) and ancient lanes.
