Day-time in Stratford-upon-Avon
Warwick Castle
Visit Warwick Castle, and spend an exciting day at Britain’s Greatest Medieval Experience. The magnificent Towers and Ramparts offer spectacular views of the Castle grounds and the town of Warwick. The chilling Dungeon and Torture Chamber contrasts with the elegant splendour of the State Rooms, baronial Great Hall and 'Royal Weekend Party 1898', where you can meet some of the most revered public figures from Victorian times.
Experience the sights, smells and sounds of medieval life in 'Kingmaker - a preparation for battle' attraction, or visit the eerie Ghost Tower and the terrifying re-enactment of Sir Fulke Greville’s death. In the 'Death or Glory' armoury, feel the weight of a sword and see how the longbow was used to devastating effect. In The Mill and Engine House, discover how electricity was created to light up the whole Castle in 1900. You need about 3 hours to visit the Castle, although you could easily spend the whole day there. However, if you love shopping for antiques, crafts and gifts, then you’ll love wandering round the town of Warwick. The town centre is easy walking distance from the Castle and is a delight to explore.
