Warwick Castle by redflame100
We were doubtful as to whether or not to go to Warwick Castle as we didnt know what to expect, however we thoroughly enjoyed it.We picked up a leaflet in our hotel which gave 2 for 1 admission which made the usually £13.50 each cost more bearable. However, if you dont have a 2 for 1 there was a chap wandering around outside between the castle and car park asking people if they wished to buy a 2 for 1 for £5 - worth it if you are happy to do this.
Lots to see and do (inside and out) ranging from the dungeons to the warwick bowman shooting his arrows.
We also paid the extra £2.50 each to do the ghost experience. It doesnt last long but was good fun.
We climbed the 500+ steps to the castle turret - be warned - they are steep and are circular and there are a lot of them!!! They are also very closed in and not good for anyone who is claustrophic - I panicked half way up but the view from the top made it worthwhile!
If you park at the castle (£3) you can then leave your car there whilst you go into the town and wander round.
Look out for the deer whilst walking from the car park up to the council - we saw two at very close range.
Also worth a look is the Leycester Hospital. Beautiful from the outside. Not much to see inside (although there is a museum upstairs) but worth paying to get in just to keep the Hospital in funds as it is now used solely for accommodation for ex-servicemen (they run the place now).
