Guide To Warwick Castle

Beautiful grounds and impressive castle. Children enjoyed seeing Zog and playing in the maze and play area. Thought there might be more for them to do and a bit more happening in the grounds but clearly out of season or something.

Lovely castle and grounds, friendly staff. Falconry show was great, shame they didn’t have the jousting on as I’ve heard that’s fantastic too. Would definitely visit again, great for all the family, got a maze and a park then the walks up the steps to top of the towers. Good day out for sure, just pack lunch as the food isn’t cheap.

What a stunning castle. From the walls and the towers, you have a 360 view of the surrounding area. Such a magnificent collection of armour, swords, spears, and other weaponry in the main hall. The grounds are extensive and well maintained. The falconry show was spectacular with the birds of prey flying so low you felt the wings touch you. The battle experience showed what it was like when going into battle with sounds and smells helping you re-live the moment. It is a great day out for all the family and would highly recommend it.

A good castle to visit. Well presented inside the castle. Buying tickets in advance will save money.

Some activities for kids but you have to pay extra for some. Not all events run throughout the year. So check the events calendar.

Car park is far away from the main entrance. There is a bus service from the car park to the main entrance, otherwise it is a 15-20 minutes walk to the main entrance from the car park.

You will need to spend a day to cover the attractions. There is a hotel inside as well if you want to stay overnight.

There were a few food stalls inside the castle. Expect to walk a fair bit and climb steps.

Always wanted to visit Warwick as castle is quite complete. As I was travelling between family and home, I decided to take the opportunity as wasn’t too far off my journey. Sign posted well when you get close. It was a sunny day and very warm. First impressions were it was quite commercial and clearly aiming to family or schools as the signs and attractions were the ‘yea oldie worldie’ obvious pointers to the medieval type. Sherwood forest suffers the same thing. Price I also thought quite high although they are season tickets. Wish a cheaper option was available for single visits. Aside from that, Warwick is a beautiful castle. The main building has a few room presentations, not the most amazing. Armouries display in the entrance room is quite impressive. Displays outside kept younger visitors entertained. Cafe food was also available for light meals. The ramparts are fantastic and the chance to walk around it is pretty cool. You need a bit of puff to reach the higher ones. Certain parts of the grounds are beautiful. All in all, a good place to visit.
