Kenilworth Castle
Kenilworth Castle is a large medieval castle and later Tudor residence in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England, built largely of local New Red Sandstone. The site preserves extensive medieval and Elizabethan ranges around an inner court, together with outer bailey walls and major water defences formed by the Tiltyard and the Great Mere.

As it stood in 1575
The shape it held in its prime.
On a raised knoll of New Red Sandstone stands a complex of rectangular perpendicular ranges and a massive 12th-century great tower with huge corner turrets and a sloping stone plinth. To the south are a long great hall with flanking Strong and Saintlowe Towers, a multi-sided Oriel tower, and Leicester's four-storey Tudor guest-block with grids of tall windows. The site is encircled by a low buttressed outer bailey wall and broad water defences created by the Tiltyard dam and the Great Mere.
