Kenilworth Castle

The family (well, me, wife, Lucas and Nanna) took a trip to Kenilworth Castle last weekend. I'm no expert, but apparently it was one of England's most formidable fortresses and home to many Kings and Dukes and other important nobles, including some guy called Dudley that Queen Elizabeth 1st used to have a bit on the side with.

As you can see, I'm no English history buff, I'll leave the details to the Mrs.







Moose had an absolute ball, she was like a girl running around in a huge candy store. It was the happiest I have seen her during our time in England.

We will go back to Kenilworth again.. its rather spectacular and the photos don't really do it justice.

The castle was smashed by pro-parliament forces at the end of the civil war to ensure that it never again become a base of power for pro-royalist forces. It has been falling into disrepair for the past few hundred years, but within the last century efforts have been put into place to preserve it.
