Over and Under #warwick 1

At first glance you’d think that it’d be quite close to the city centre. There’s walls and gatehouses very close to the roads and shops, and the entrance isn’t too far away either. But once you’re in, you’re basically parking in reclaimed fields. There’s a fair trek through the woodland to the main entrance, and I’m surprised that there’s no shuttle service. Along the way, the path branches off to other features like the accommodation and areas which are reserved for special events. Then at the tollbooth there’s a stern watchtower of admission, a toilet block and a souvenir shop. Once you’re through the turnstile, you get your first view of the castle. You can take a circular walk around it, cross over the moat or venture into the gardens. Or you could do what we did which was to explore the Horrible Histories maze. There were facts to learn and things to climb over and under.
