Embark on the Kenilworth Castle loop via Millennium Way, a moderate hike spanning 6.9 miles (11.0 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 167 feet (51 metres). This circular route, which typically takes around 2 hours and 50 minutes to complete, guides you through attractive Warwickshire countryside. You will enjoy views of historic Kenilworth Castle, especially its red sandstone illuminated by the sun, and pass through flat farmland, open fields, and pleasant woodland sections.
The trail features easily accessible paths with a mix of unpaved, natural, gravel, and some asphalt surfaces. It is suitable for most fitness levels, though sturdy shoes are always advisable, and you should be prepared for potential mud if hiking in winter. A significant advantage for dog owners is the absence of stiles, making this a very dog-friendly route.
This hike is part of the larger Millennium Way, marked by distinctive black and white waymarkers, and offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical interest. Beyond the castle, you can spot alpacas at Faerie Tale Farm and catch glimpses of the earthworks of the Pleasaunce, King Henry V's former pleasure house. Consider the optional 1.5-mile Millennium Trail extension for even more stunning views and historical insights around the castle.
