Moving to Kenilworth? Here’s Why It’s Castle Cool
Welcome to Kenilworth — Warwickshire’s historic gem, famous for its castle, leafy streets, and the kind of community spirit that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a postcard. With a population of around 27,000, Kenilworth mixes medieval charm with modern convenience, and locals greet you with a smile that says “yes, we really do live next door to royalty.”
Schools That Actually Impress
Kenilworth School and Sixth Form, Crackley Hall, and St John’s Primary are all rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Translation: your kids will get a strong education and probably know more about Tudor history than your tour guide at the castle.
Economy With Heritage
Kenilworth thrives on tourism, local businesses, and its proximity to Warwick, Coventry, and Leamington Spa. With independent shops, restaurants, and easy access to major employers in the region, the town balances historic charm with modern opportunity.
Things to Do (Besides Pretending You’re a Knight)
Kenilworth Castle & Elizabethan Garden – history, romance, and ruins that make Instagram jealous.
Abbey Fields – perfect for walks, picnics, and pretending you’re in a Jane Austen novel.
Local gems – The Cross for fine dining, Virgins & Castle (one of England’s oldest pubs) for a pint, and Crackley Woods for fresh air and wildlife spotting.
