Kenilworth Castle is set in acres of beautiful grounds in the heart of Warwickshire, overlooking wonderful English countryside.
Built in the 13th century, it has hosted royalty through the ages, including Edward II, Henry III and Henry V - who moved in fresh from victory over the French at the Battle of Agincourt.
But it is most associated with Queen Elizabeth I, who stayed in 1575 when she was famously romanced by the dashing Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester.
