1. The Norman keep (right) was built in the 1120’s, the tower block (left) was added in 16th century and the apartments (rear) are 14th century. The castle was home to many great and powerful people including John of Gaunt and King Henry V.

Dudley built the Elizabethan extension for Lizzy and she never visited. But on the other hand, he never fell out of favour and kept his head. I think the colour of the stone at Kenilworth is remarkable and makes for excellent shots. Haven't visited since 2009. Good work!

Hi Yang,

Cheers - appreciated! We were lucky to find some nice skies with decent light when we visited, which helped things pop.

Great set and love the light that you captured.
