Kenilworth is an exquisite market town in the heart of Warwickshire with many historic buildings and fascinating architecture. Fifty years after the Norman Conquest in 1066, Geoffrey de Clinton built Kenilworth Castle which was subsequently partially destroyed by Oliver Cromwell's men in 1649. Despite the vandalism, the castle is one of the finest ruins in England and was beautifully captured in 1830 by the painter J M W Turner. The hamlet of Little Virginia sits close to Kenilworth Castle, and consists of thatched cottages dating from the 17th century that were once home to the masons and builders working on the castle. Rumour has it that the first potatoes brought to England were planted in Little Virginia by Sir Walter Raleigh.
