Itinerary

Explore world-famous Warwick Castle, which traces its history back more than 1,100 years. Enjoy the comfort and convenience of rail service from London on this historical and dynamic day trip. Start your tour at Marylebone Station in the capital as you board a train bound for the home of the Earls of Warwick, at one point the most powerful noble family in England. Learn about this fortification, stately home, and prison for royalty and its long, bloody history. From William the Conqueror to the War of the Roses, travel through time and bring the history of Warwick Castle to life. Explore the lavish state rooms and wander through its immaculately maintained gardens, including the Victorian Rose Garden and Peacock Garden. Visit the original dungeon at Caesar’s Tower, where you can still see the graffiti left behind by prisoners hundreds of years ago.

Viewing the castle and its contents was very pleasant and the help I received to leave the building was much appreciated. I have to use a walker to get around so that having to climb up and down a lot (Read More) of steps is not practical.

The rail trip was comfortable, the directions given by the tour operator was good and the castle was fabulous. You need to be confident with stairs as there are a lot, but of all the castles we visite (Read More)d, this was the most memorable. I highly recommend this for people of all ages but families especially
