Warwick Castle


Just 30 km from Mike and Pat's place in Nuneaton is an amazing castle. William the Conqueror originally established part of the castle here in the 11th century with it being added to over the centuries. The castle is considered one of the best preserved castles in England. It is a little more "theme-parkish" than it was when Sally and I visited it 13 years ago but it was still worth it. The views were amazing and climbing up Guy's tower and walking around the ramparts was a beautiful way to see the scenery. It would be beautiful to walk around the grounds in Summer as it was very pretty but a bit too cold and overcast. We spent about 3 to 4 hours there and then went for a walk around the town of Warwick. 

Here are some pictures of our day:
