Kenilworth Castle is a magnificent stone motte and bailey fortress and the largest castle ruin in England. In the inner bailey stands a massive Norman keep, with its huge forebuilding, John of Gaunt’s 13th century great palatial buildings and Robert Dudley’s interesting 16th century range of buildings. In the outer bailey are the Earl of Leicester’s gatehouse and a long range of stables. A high curtain wall with round and polygonal flanking towers, two lakes and a great barbican with earth and stone flankers defends all.
