Historical site of Henry V pleasance outside of Kenilworth Castle. The site where the Pleasance stood can still be visited, north-west of the castle along a public footpath. No buildings survive, but the earthworks are well preserved, and define two concentric moats with a raised bank between them, surrounding a rectangular island of about 4 acres. Can be combined with a visit to Kenilworth Castle and a walk through the local fields.

Always a nice walk out to see 600 year old history! Takes a bit of getting your head around but worthwhile

As earthworks in a field go, this one ain't bad. Makes for a nice objective on a circular walk from the castle.

Earthworks of Henry V's 15th-century lodge and pleasure garden a short walk from Kenilworth Castle. Not much to see but nice to imagine.
