Warwick Castle
Warwick Castle is a famous medieval castle which dates back to the 10th century.
The castle is a Grade I listed building, and is a typical castle with a Great Hall,
State rooms, Chapel, Ghost Tower and dungeons. Warwick Castle was built by William
the Conqueror in 1068 and used as a fortification until the early 17th century when
it was converted into a country house by Sir Fulke Greville.
Since its construction Warwick castle has undergone structural changes with additions
of towers and redesigned residential buildings. Originally a wooden mote-and-bailey
Castle, it was rebuilt in stone in the 12th century. In the 17th century the grounds
were turned into a garden. A visit to Warwick Castle will bring Mediaeval England
back to life as there is so much to see for all ages.
Outside there is a Victorian rose garden, conservatory and peacock garden. There
are live shows demonstrating jousting, archery, falconry and combat as well as a
huge reconstructed catapult that is fired twice a day. With many parts of the castle
said to be haunted, why not experience live-action held in the Ghost tower where
actors and effects recreate the murder of Sir Fulke Greville.
