Warwick Castle
Warwick Castle, the one of the finest Mediaeval Castle in England. The oldest portions of the castle were started in 1068 by William the Conqueror. It rises majestically from the banks of the River Avon.
For centuries, Warwick Castle was home to the mighty Earls of Warwick, who were to play such key roles in the Wars of the Roses and the Hundred Years War with France. Richard III once owned the Castle and started new fortifications before meeting his death at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. Later, the Castle was a Parliamentarian stronghold during the English Civil War.
The beautifully restored house within the castle walls. The rooms have been wonderfully restored.

This 14th century hospital was converted to a home for retired and disabled servicemen in 1571. A portion of the building still serves that purpose today.
