Today I took a trip to Kenilworth Castle; having only
recently learned of its existence through a radio advertisement. It turns out
that it’s the biggest castle in the West Midlands, and I managed to spend a
good couple of hours investigating today. The only thing that puts me off with
these sort of places lately is the pressure that the staff put on you to become
an English Heritage member. All the literature is heaped upon you as you enter
and you then have to drag it round with you while you explore the castle; then
they don’t even ask you for a decision on the way back out! The castle is very
nice to visit; even though they’re still building it (one of the towers is
undergoing refurbishment). You can get some great views around the castle but
if you’re looking for scenic countryside, you’re better off going to the lake
just up the hill.
