Kenilworth Castle Education Visit

Book a free self-led visit and follow in the footsteps of royalty by experiencing one of England’s finest castles. A visit to Kenilworth Castle can support learning across the curriculum; from a study of the historic environment, to stimulus for story writing or art. Explore the castle’s mighty keep, climb up Tudor towers, and discover the Elizabethan style gardens. Find out more about medieval siege weapons and how they were used to attack and defend Kenilworth’s outer defences. Your class can even become a history detectives, using the buildings as clues to reveal more about life at the castle during its 900 year history. You can also use our site proposal form, tailored to the OCR B History syllabus, for your GCSE group.
