First raised by William the Conqueror during the Norman Conquest, Warwick Castle has kept its 14th-century military architecture intact. The wing of the castle facing the town was reinforced during the 100 Years’ War, and the iconic Caesar’s and Guy’s Towers still stand guard. Borrowing from French castle design, both are machicolated, while the Ca...
This adorable half-acre garden is wedged between the Avon and Warwick Castle. Mill Garden has been in the Measures family since 1938, and took on its design under the 60-year custodianship of Arthur Measures. It sits on the roadway of the Old Castle Bridge, which was destroyed by a flood in the 18th century, and those surviving arches are covered w...
This magical Grade I-listed complex of half-timbered buildings has been a retirement home for former servicemen since the 16th century. The beautiful structures go back a century before, when they were built as residences, meeting halls and dining halls for the newly combined Guilds of St George and the Blessed Virgin. In the 17th century a banquet...

The locks allowed barges laden with sugar, tea, spices and coal to negotiate a climb of 45 metres across two miles. For workers on the barges the fligh...
On a hillside over Warwick Racecourse, Hill Close Gardens is an outdoor attraction with an intriguing past. These were 16 individual Victorian gardens, established to afford outdoor space to people who owned townhouses that didn’t have their own gardens. Each plot was delineated by a wall or hedge and had a gate that could be locked. Many had pavil...
