Autumnal Colours at the Newly Recreated Elizabethan Garden

May Day Bank Holiday weekend saw the opening of the recreated exquisite garden Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester created to seduce Queen Elizabeth I in 1575 at Kenilworth Castle. Complete with an aviary housing colourful birds, a beautiful marble fountain, obelisks and planting it is sure to delight the © James Davies  senses of all visitors. As with any garden the changing seasons enable the plants, herbs and flowers to take on new colours, textures and forms. While this garden has been planted to peak with the passion of summer colour in July when Elizabeth originally visited, autumn brings the more muted, pastel tones of a love unreturned. 

Kenilworth Castle itself is one of the most spectacular castle ruins in England; see for yourself the beautiful Elizabethan Gatehouse, now fully restored. Explore new exhibitions that chart the castle’s long and colourful history, then enjoy the finest local produce in the newly refurbished castle tearoom.
