Visiting Warwick on a day trip from London is easy, head to the Marylebone train station (from the Marylebone tube, follow the BritRail signs) and ask for a cheap day return, only for journeys after 9:30am on weekdays, all day on Saturday and Sunday.
In July 2004 we got a combined train and castle admission but I don't see that option listed anymore. Instead this time because we had five people, we used the Group Saver where 4 travel for the price of two and the 5th person who was a child rode for £1. Up to 4 kids can join you for a £. The ride took about 1 1/2 hours.
At the Warwick station, there was someone handing out maps of the area but you might print one out to get your bearings in case he isn't there that day. There are two stops with Warwick in the name, you want Warwick, not Warwick Parkway. The castle is a short walk from the train station and there are directional signs throughout town.
For more info, click on the website below, click on the days out link, and then Warwick Castle.

The Shakespeare Explorer train pass looked like an interesting option if you wanted to try and combine a visit to Warwick with nearby Stratford, Kenilworth or Royal Leamington Spa. I looked into this option but decided I only wanted to do a day trip to Warwick and as we were running late that day knew we wouldn't have time to make it over to Stratford.
You can get a 1 day or 3 day pass so that you can go into Warwick and out of another town (or vice versa) plus go between the cities.

Warwick is very conveniently connected by train and buses from London and Birmingham. The main railway station is just 10 minutes from city. You can get a train from Paddington and Marylebone. The scheduled National Express buses also run from Victoria station. Warwick is just around 100 miles from London so you can drive down there as well.

Just a quick tip for visitors to England using the train to get around.
Don't set out early, the rush hour trains have a premium on their price.
Set out after half past nine in the morning and your ticket price will be much cheaper.

A good place to live and to visit. Many people expect a big city but it's just a small county town of about 29,000.
