Warwick Castle

After leaving the car museum, we took the short drive over to the Warwick Castle (pronounced War-ick). Of all the castles we've ever visited in our travel, I found this to be one of the most interesting. The way they had the displays set up, you could get a feel, walking through the castle, what it was really like in those days, dating back to medieval times. Taking pictures is no simple task, due to the massive size of the castle. Rob and I walked the 536 steep steps to the top of the watch tower to get a bird's eye view of the castle and grounds. I've posted a few pictures, with less than ideal lighting, but to get a better tour of the castle, click here, to visit their official website. If you click on "The Castle", you will have several link options. Or, here is another website, with great pictures.

The first picture above was taken from the tower, overlooking the main living section of the castle, but this is a small portion of the castle and grounds. The second picture has even poorer lighting, but if you click on the image to enlarge it, you will see my face (catching my breath from the climb). It was not only long and steep, but dark inside the tower during the climb up. From this vantage point we had a fabulous view of the Warwick Cathedral, in the distance, the town of Warwick... and far off into the distance.
