The Elizabethan Garden at Kenilworth Castle

The garden created by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, at Kenilworth Castle in the early 1570s was one of the wonders of Elizabethan England. This beautifully illustrated book presents the extensive research that went into English Heritage's ambitious re-creation of the garden in 2009 and describes the process by which the new garden was designed.
