Warwick Castle

Warwick Castle a 14th-century fortress of formidable towers and turrets. The fortress dominates a choice spot on the riverbank and its striking structure is beautifully preserved. Climb the towers, explore the armory and torture chamber below, then visit the Manor House. As you walk through the house you see what it was like to attend a house party given by the Earl and Countess of Warwick in 1898. The house has retained its period furniture and Madame Tussaud’s has populated the rooms with wax figures from the past. Here a servant pours water into a bath for a guest while downstairs visitors listen to a recital being given by Dame Clara Butt. The gardens are decorated by arrogant, strutting peacocks.
