Elizabethan Garden Tour
A Kenilworth Castle team member will lead the group through the Norman Keep and into the newly recreated Elizabethan Garden, just as Queen Elizabeth I would have entered her private garden erected in 1575 by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. Our guide will explain the inspiration behind this unique project and the recreation of the 16th century fountain, aviary and four obelisks, as well as the search for Tudor plants, flowers and birds. This tour will also shed light on the love story between Elizabeth I and Robert Dudley and her spectacular 19 day visit to Kenilworth Castle, in which Robert would attempt to win his Queen’s heart forever!
