Things To Do In Warwick
The county town of Warwick offers its visitors the opportunity of exploring not only, the architectural gems of its medieval history but also, those of its more recent past and most importantly, its modern vibrant life. When visiting Warwick, one thing that you shouldn’t miss is the Warwick Castle. Currently, visitors can explore the varied history of the castle’s dungeons – its living quarters and fortifications.
Another thing to look forward to when visiting the Warwick Castle is its stunning Rose Garden and the formal gardens. Another great place is the Private Apartments – which contains a display of waxwork figures, showing how the rooms would have looked in the late 19th century.
The must-see Island is across the River Avon that features jesters, archers and craftsmen – showing off their skills in the summer months alongside re-enactments of battles and tournaments.
Also, The Collegiate Church of St. Mary is one of Warwick’s tourist hotspots. It houses the magnificent medieval Beauchamp Chapel, The Chapel of The Royal Warickshire Regiment and Field Marshall Viscount Montgomery’s garter banner – which hangs outside the Chapel.
If you want to spend a nice afternoon amidst a plethora of beautiful flowers and other lovely sights, go and visit The Hill Close Gardens, St. Nicholas Park or The Saltisford Canal Trust, which is equally a good choice available to visit.
