This town has my favourite castle of all time ~ Warwick Castle!
My husband and I are both castle-fundhis! We have, since living in the UK, visited loads of castle throughout the UK. Warwick is right there at the top of them, our favourite complete castle. I say 'complete', as many castle today are in ruins. Our favourite ruins are a tie between Bodiam Castle in England, and Conwy Castle in Wales.
We have been to the grand Warwick Castle in the middle of winter, when they have an ice rink on the middle lawn.. plus at festival time during summer, with the magnificent knights jousting one-another... and at a much quieter time, when it was spring, there was hardly anyone around... and we actually had a dose in the garden...
A wonderful day trip, a must-do :)
- Pros:Lots to see and do and experience!
- Cons:Tons of people in summer, choose your time carefully!
- In a nutshell:Definately worth seeing at different times of the year :)

I used to take groups to Birmingham every summer (because Birmingham and Frankfurt are partner cities, and there used to be money in the budget for group visits), and one of our favourite excursions was always to Warwick Castle.
hi, hope you are having a good year. warwick looks ok - i have to spend a few days there in may. regards. sb.
Enjoyed this page not sure how I missed it before!!
I really like Warwick castle too! It made a big impression on me.
As a castle lover, I was most interested in finding out about Warwick Castle. Thanks for the information and the lovely photos to accompany it.
Definitely bring the plug extension! I'm from the States and made the mistake of not bringing one. You'd think any electronics store would sell them...not the case. I loved Warwick Castle! (pronounced Warick, I was told). great pages Jen.
I love castles too and this one sounds great! Too bad I didn't get to see what it looks like!
Lovely page Jen! I don't quite understand why you need to pack a European plug adaptor for a day trip to Warwick though? ;-)))
One of my favourite castles too - though I also like them ruinous and atmospheric. leyle
This is a favourite castle of mine Jen. We enjoy the jousting! Please let me know when you have finished this page? :-)
