The castle was founded after the Norman Conquest of 1066; with development through to the Tudor period. It has been described by the architectural historian Anthony Emery as "the finest surviving example of a semi-royal palace of the later middle ages, significant for its scale, form and quality of workmanship". Kenilworth played an important historical role: it was the subject of the six-month-long siege of Kenilworth in 1266, thought to be the longest siege in medieval English history, and formed a base for Lancastrian operations in the Wars of the Roses. Kenilworth was the scene of the removal of Edward II from the English throne, the perceived French insult to Henry V in 1414 of a gift of tennis balls (said by John Strecche to have prompted the campaign that led to the Battle of Agincourt), and the Earl of Leicester's lavish reception of Elizabeth I in 1575.

The longest canal aqueduct in England is said to be 145m long and was built between 1793 and 1812. The iron canal is navigated by narrow, purpose-built ships and the locks are operated by hand. There is a small parking lot below the viaduct. From there you can take a staircase directly to the canal.

After the devastating Coventry Blitz on November 14, 1940, the Goodrest Anti-Aircraft Battery came into existence. This defensive installation marked the final layer of protection for Coventry, providing shelter for both soldiers and women from the Auxiliary Territorial Service. As the war progressed, the site took on new roles, transforming into a prisoner of war camp first for Italian and then for German captives. Although the battery now sits on private farmland, you can catch a decent view of it from the nearby footpath.
