Kenilworth Castle is one of England's most historic sites, and a great place for a day out.
Originally built as a Norman Castle (the castle keep still dominates), Kenilworth was upgraded by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, so that he could entertain Queen Elizabeth I in luxurious surroundings.
Today you can walk in the Elizabethan Gardens, see the Great Hall, Castle Keep and Leicester's Gatehouse, and even climb the tower, before visiting the Stables Tearoom for tea and cakes.
About 9 miles away. [Find out more...]Anne Hathaway's Cottage
It is almost 10 miles from Tanworth to Anne Hathaway's cottage in Shottery, but it is well worth the journey to see this authentic cottage.
Anne Hathaway lived in the cottage in her childhood and youth, and this is where William Shakespeare came, across the fields from Stratford, to woo her.
The house remained in the Hathaway family until the late 19th Century when it was bought by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.
Perhaps this is why the house is so authentic - it is furnished with period furniture and has the original wood panelling and open hearth in the living room.
About 9 miles away. [Find out more...]Shakespeare's Birthplace
In nearby Stratford-upon-Avon you'll find Shakespeare's Birthplace - the childhood home of England's greatest playwright.
Shakespeare's time in the house is brought to life by costumed guides with stories from the great man's youth.
You'll also experience some of the highlights of his work performed by resident actors.
See Shakespeare's fathers glove workshop, the room where William was born, and the window where famous authors have etched their names in tribute to Stratford-upon-Avon's most famous son.
