Explore 14th-century towers, meet the ghost of a dungeon and spot birds of prey at this thousand-year-old castle.

Visit Warwick Castle to explore towers and a dungeon dating to the 1300s, watch actors in jousting battles and spot eagles and vultures. Danish invaders first built a fortress here in 914 to protect the town of Warwick. William the Conqueror developed the castle in 1068 and it was home to British nobility until 1978, when it became a museum and tourist attraction.Allow a whole day for visiting the castle. Different ticket prices grant admission to the various attractions. Check the official website of Warwick Castle for detailed information.Explore the towers and ramparts that once protected the castle from invasion. Gaze up at the 147-foot (44.8-meter) tall Caesar’s Tower, then look for the graffiti left by prisoners in The Gaol, on the lower floor. Visit the castle’s interior rooms. Royalty such as Queen Victoria and Prince Albert once dined in the State Dining Room. Don’t miss the interactive horror stories in the Castle Dungeon. Meet local witch Moll Bloxham and other castle ghosts in exhibitions and displays. At Merlin: The Dragon Tower you can relive the story of Merlin, a wizard that battled to protect King Arthur. Additional charges apply to these two attractions.Be sure to see the daily events such as a bird of prey display and the raising of the portcullis (castle gateway). There are summer concerts and theater performances, jousting competitions and evening dinners. Find more details on Warwick Castle’s official website.

All good and got a free upgrade. Only minor complaint is that the £200 security deposit is quite high, especially because the room didn't even cost that much. Although it was paid back within a reasonable timeframe.

Great location and room. We had two drops of blood on our sheets which weren’t from us. And the room was insanely hot. Other guests we spoke to said the same - about the heat, not the drops of blood. Breakfast looked great but we didn’t have it. Really comfy bed except for the blood.

Incredibly expensive. £28 per adult, just for a basic ticket, excluding certain parts of the castle (dungeons & certain special events). Plus another £6 for car parking. I have certainly seen much better castles for less money.
