WARWICK CASTLE

Warwick Castle dates originally from Norman times, since when it has been extensively extended and improved. It remains one of the best preserved castles in England. In addition, there are lots of activities to keep visitors entertained, including (but not pictured here, because it was raining at the time) an exhibition of how to fire a trebuchet, and flying exhibitions by birds of prey.
