 Warwick Castle
We had the pleasure of visiting here, and our information is based on our personal experiences We took some photos of this location that we'd like to share with you  

Warwick Castle The first castle here was erected by William the Conqueror, though nothing but the mound remains. The present castle was begun after Simon de Montfort's troops leveled the old one in 1264. Curtain walls, portcullis, and murder holes. Appropriately dismal dungeon, and a haunted room where murder was done. Fascinating "Edwardian Weekend" house party tableau by Madame Tussaud's in the updated living quarters.
Warwick, Warwickshire, England, CV34 4QU

Heritage Highlight: The 11th century mound of William the Conqueror's castle
