Warwick Castle Tickets
Warwick Castle is one of the oldest, most impressive Medieval fortresses in the United Kingdom. Built in 914, it was attacked in 1264, besieged in 1642 and damaged by fire in 1871, yet despite these historic events, it remains one of the most well-preserved castles in the country.
The history of the castle is varied; it was first used as a military stronghold in the Hundred Years War, until the early 17th century when it was granted to Sir Fulke Greville who used it as a country house. Then it was later owned by the Earls of Warwick until 1978. Since then it has been open to the public.
