Kenilworth has been voted the sixth best place to live in Warwickshire, by readers of online lifestyle guide Muddy Stilettos.

The result matches last year's result, with Warwick now claiming the county's top spot.

Nationally, Dursley in Gloucestershire has been voted the best place to live.

Voting took place this summer, with readers able to back their town to be ranked the best.

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 Top 10 most popular locations in Warwickshire are:

  1. Warwick
  2. Leamington Spa
  3. Stratford-upon-Avon
  4. Ilmington
  5. Henley-in-Arden
  6. Kenilworth
