Warwick

It's not just historic in lovely Warwick!

Warwick offers to visitors today the opportunity of exploring not only the architectural gems of medieval history but also those of the more recent past and the modern vibrant life of the county town of Warwickshire. This traditional market town was founded on the banks of the River Avon in 914 AD by the daughter of King Alfred the Great, as a defence against the Danish invaders, on a site overlooking earlier riverside settlements. It is built on a small hill which controlled not only the river valley but also the river crossing on the road to London and the roads to Stratford, Coventry and the salt way to Droitwich. It is a pretty and intriguing town, steeped in history and heritage with many wonderful things to see and do. Whether visiting the magnificent Warwick Castle or gazing at the ancient artifacts in St Mary’s Church, there’s something for everyone here in Warwick.
