    Mill & Engine House on the
    River Avon
    by mazzap

    Take a pleasant walk from the gardens within the castle grounds and along the river bank to the Mill & Engine House.

    Originally built in the 12th century, it brought electric light to the castle for the first time in 1894.

    Now restored to its former glory, you can discover how the generated electricity was once used to light up the castle.

    Easy to understand diagrams and information are on display, making this working feature enjoyable as well as educational.

    Park
    by mazzap
    St Nicholas Park was opened by the Countess of Warwick in 1933. Set on the banks of the River Avon, and very close to the town centre and Warwick Castle, this park is popular with all age groups.

    There is a lovely traditional park café called ‘Warwick Tearooms Café’ serving home made cakes and ice-creams etc. with outdoor seating in warm weather. There are plenty of park activities for children – and you can also hire a boat, play a round of pitch and putt or spend time admiring the beautifully tended gardens.

    Parking is available adjoined to the park.

    The Tussauds Group have done an excellent job managing Warwick Castle and making it a truly worthwhile place to visit. According to their brochure it is “Britains Greatest Medieval Experience.”

    Climb the towers and ramparts, see the recently restored mill at work, take a ghost tour, and don’t miss a trip down into the dungeons of course!

    Set in beautiful grounds and gardens where peacocks roam freely, the castle is as grand today as it ever was. Tussauds brings it’s waxworks here too, and within the Great Hall and State Rooms one can see a reconstruction of a Royal Weekend Party as would have probably taken place in the late 1800’s.

    Spend a whole day here – you’ll need it!
    All the usual facilities you could require can be found here.

    Lord Leycester - Dec-04
    by grayfo
    The Guildhall, now the Lord Leycester Hospital, is a set of timber-framed buildings dating from the 14th century. The unique chantry chapel, galleried courtyard, superb Great Hall and Guildhall form what Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, established as an old soldier's home in 1571. The location of the building, built into the ancient walls and West Gate of the town, is unique. Today, ex-servicemen and their wives live in modernised flats and in return give their services towards the running of the Hospital.

    St. Marys Church - Dec-04

    People have worshipped on this site since 1123 when Robert de Newburgh, Earl of Warwick, founded St Mary's Church. The powerful Earls of Warwick now lie entombed in gilded splendour in the Beauchamp Chapel. For just £1 for adults, 50p per child, you can climb to the top of the tower for a birds eye view of Warwick, the castle, the river and the historic town buildings.

    Also known as the Warwickshire Museum, this 17th century Market Hall hosts exhibitions downstairs on the prehistory of Warwickshire (including a huge dinosaur exhibit!).

    The West Gate with it’s ancient chapel of St. James was first mentioned in 1123, with the tower being added around 1450 by Thomas Beauchamp, 12th Earl of Warwick. The gate was once the entrance to the western part of the town, it is now part of the Lord Leycester Hospital.

    East Gate - Dec-04
    by grayfo
    The East Gate is one of two remaining gates into the old town of Warwick. It is notable for having a small chapel built upon it (St. Peter’s). Although the gate dates from the 15th century it was rebuilt in the 18th century and reopened in 1788. The building is now part of Kings High School. At one time traffic went through the gate with people on foot using the smaller side gate.
