Warwick Castle

Warwick Castle was the first castle in England that I ever visited (about 11 years ago). I thought it was absolutely beautiful at the time and vowed to return there one day. Earlier this year my parents came for a visit from South Africa and I decided that this would be the perfect opportunity to revisit Warwick Castle. Warwick Castle is situated in the midlands quite close to Stratford Upon-Avon. It was originally built in the 14th century as a medieval fortress. The castle is currently owned by Madame Tussaud's and they have used numerous wax figures to help illustrate the interesting history of the castle. We spent the entire day at Warwick ...  Read the complete review

Warwick Castle Home of Knights and Dungeons My wife and I took a right hand fork on the A44 to Stratford un Avon to look at the very appealing Warwick Castle earlier last month (August 2009), a trip down memory lane when we took our young children to see this magnificent monument to our heritage. Now they had grown up and left home gave us the opportunity to look at the history of our bloody conflicts that took part over the years. It was over twenty years since we had taken our children and it has changed. With so much going on with attraction throughout the days, keep the children occupied and interested in the history of this country through the ...  Read the complete review

Warwick Castle was on my list of touristy things to do when I stayed overnight in a hotel in Stratford this year. Located in Warwick, the castle is probably Warwickshire's biggest, most popular, and most expensive, attraction.

There are several ways and places to pay for your ticket, though buying in advance online if possible is probably the cheapest method unless you have an alternative discount voucher. On the day, ticket prices are as ...  Read the complete review

It is difficult to review Warwick Castle for one simple reason - do you do so as a site of historic natural beauty or as an attraction owned and run by the Merlin group, but here goes. The castle itself which was originally built on the orders of William The Conquerer from 1068 as a motte and bailey and situated in the very heart of the town of Warwick. It was rebuilt by the Earl of Leciester in 1264, who imprisoned the then Earl of Warwick in it! (Rather mean of him!) The castle has a long history, and supported the House of York during the Wars of The Roses. In the early 1870's it suffered extensive fire damage. Like most castles, it has ...  Read the complete review

Warwick castle is a beautiful medieval castle, It was built by William the Conqueror in 1068 and is a gorgeous piece of English heritage, I'm not going to bore you all with too much history of the place as you could easily see that on Wikipedia etc, so I will try and explain more from a family day out point of view and will also mention the experience I have encountered on the more corporate and entertaining side of the venue. (I hope that makes sense ) I do not live too far from Warwick so I have visited the castle many times both as a child and now as a mother myself, the castle can be seen from all around the town and is built next to the river Avon, on top ...  Read the complete review
