High Street
image by Benjamin Arnold
The beating heart of medieval Kenilworth, the High Street is an ancient roadway known as “Alta Strada” (for being high above the lands of the Abbey) and home to Kenilworth’s market in the middle ages. Jam packed with historic buildings, ancient hostelries and just a stones throw from the ruins of the Abbey, its the perfect place to kick off a historic exploration of Kenilworth!
