About

Kenilworth Abbey & Arden is a largely residential ward located on the southern edge of the town of Kenilworth. The area is defined by its green spaces, including Abbey Fields, a large public park with a swimming pool, playgrounds, and sports facilities. The ruins of Kenilworth Abbey, a 12th-century Augustinian monastery, are a central historic feature within this parkland setting. Housing in the ward consists primarily of detached and semi-detached homes, with local shopping parades serving the community.

The ward's name directly references its two key elements: the historic abbey and the ancient Forest of Arden, which once covered this part of Warwickshire. Residential streets are often tree-lined, reflecting this wooded heritage. A specific local landmark is the intact 14th-century barn, known as the Abbey Barn, which stands near the ruins and serves as a tangible link to the site's agricultural past. The area maintains a quiet, settled character centred around its historic core and recreational green spaces.
