I enjoyed the excursion to Warwick Castle. The history is fascinating—this place has been standing for over a millennium and has hosted everyone from William the Conqueror to Netflix location scouts. There’s something both grounding and surreal about standing in a centuries-old stone hall that predates your entire country. Touching walls that have seen a thousand years of drama, betrayal, and questionable plumbing is oddly humbling.
Beyond the expected stately rooms, towers, and draughty corridors, there were live shows, falconry displays, and more activities for kids than you could shake a foam sword at. I spent a couple of hours just wandering the grounds, climbing towers, and taking in the views.
All in all, a great way to spend a few hours
Now heading back to the hotel to charge devices. Afterwards it’s jewellery quarter, drinks and food in no particular order
