On our way home we stopped at Kenilworth Castle, once owned by Robert Dudley, a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I
Crossing the causeway, where jousting used to take place:
Tudor stables
Inside the stables
Leicester’s Buildings (left) and the Keep (right)
The gatehouse was built in 1570 and after the Civil War became a house
Inside the gatehouse is a painting of how the castle used to look, when it was surrounded by water 
Panelling and fireplaces were moved from the castle to the gatehouse
The garden that was made for Elizabeth I has been restored
This shows how thick the walls are
The Great Hall 
The keep
