Kenilworth is likely to feature in a BBC One documentary covering BBC Children in Need's 2022 Rickshaw Relay.
The fundraising challenge saw Matt Baker MBE and a team of five inspiring young people take on a relay-style ride over five days.
Day four (Thursday, October 20) saw Matt and 20-year-old Sanna Ahmad travel from Birmingham, finishing the day in the grounds of Kenilworth Castle.
The challenge will now be broadcast in an hour-long documentary, The Rickshaw Relay Rides Again, on BBC One on Tuesday 15 November at 8pm.
This one-off special, will not only share the team's stories but also celebrate the history of this much-loved BBC Children in Need staple, while at the same time raising money for the charity.
Matt Baker, who has ridden on the Rickshaw Challenge for the last 12 years, says: "We know it's a challenging year for everyone, but if you're able to donate, it would be greatly appreciated, and it will make a huge difference to the lives of children and young people all over the UK."
This year's event ended at Silverstone where members of the public were invited to come and cycle alongside the rickshaw and clock up as many miles around the world-famous racing track as possible.
