Kenilworth has been named among the eight best places to live in Warwickshire.

The list has been compiled by online lifestyle guide Muddy Stilettos and has been published in time for 2026.

Nearby Warwick and Whitnash both also feature in the list.

On Kenilworth, the guide said: "The jewel in the crown of this historic market town is the romantic castle ruins, once home to Robert Dudley, whose alleged love affair with Elizabeth I was explored by Cate Blanchett and Joseph Fiennes in the 1998 film Elizabeth.

"The monarch visited the castle several times.

"But it's not all raunchy history – Kenilworth has a Michelin-starred restaurant, some great indie shops, its own arts festival, a food festival, two community theatres and the annual Two Castles Run. It's also close to the University of Warwick in Coventry."

The other places in the list are:

  • Arrow
  • Henley-in-Arden
  • Houlton (Rugby)
  • Ilmington
  • Stratford-upon-Avon
  • Warwick
  • Whitnash
