Accessible Kenilworth

Background

Kenilworth  Town Council is dedicated to making the town as accessible as possible. This includes public facilities, events and local businesses.  A dedicated team of Councillors have been working with experts across the County to put together a useful page of information to assist residents and visitors to our town.  Have a browse on our interactive map below for accessible facilities and at the bottom of this page you will find many useful links to associate local organisations.  Opening hours for local businesses and locations can be found at Visit Kenilworth.
