Warwick Castle and other Warwick, United Kingdom Things to Do Tips

Warwick Castle is one of the best castles that I've been to. The first version of the castle came about in the year 914. There are many areas of the castle to explore as well as gardens, an island, and the Avon.
Admission prices depend on the time of year that you visit. Castle is open every day (except Christmas Day), 10am - 6pm April to September, 10am - 5pm October to March. Last admission half an hour before closing.

Things To Do: Interior of Warwick Castle

The interior of Warwick Castle. The castle is made up of different sections which can be explored by visitors; they include: the mound, the ramparts walk, many towers, a chapel, a dungeon, a torture chamber, an armoury, and more. One of the towers is supposed to be haunted - the ghost tower. I didn't see any ghosts. They had some cheap special effects in the ghost-room...not scary.

Peacock in the Warwick Castle Garden. The conservatory in this garden was originally a home built in 1786. Now it's full of plants. The peacocks are definitely a must-see.

The River Avon runs right next to the castle in Warwick. It runs from Warwick to Tewkesbury. You can find a bridge near the castle which will take you to an island on which the Countess of Warwick used to keep animals...an elephant for example.
