Shrouded in the mists floating over the River Avon, Warwick Castle still echoes the torture, passion and power of the Norman Conquest, tells fascinating stories of its inhabitants and visitor, sucks you in its medieval routines, from preparations for sieges and Victorian parties to cleaning the lavishly decorated State Rooms and grooming the 60 acres of landscaped ground. Explore its beautiful gardens, learn how heavy a sword can be, and have a look at the famous trebuchet, a catapult claimed to be the largest in the world. Mind you, it's still in operation.

Beautiful. Hard to go through all the sites in one day. Beware of peacocks.
DON'T do the Ghost Alive tour...if you are expecting a tour of the castle talking about the supposed hauntings, you will be dissapointed. It's a haunted house that lasts less than 5 minutes and costs about 3 pounds.
Castle grounds are gorgeous. Inside gives you a real glimpse into medieval life. -

wait.... "how heavy a sword can be?"
i sincerely hope they're going for "surprise, it's not that heavy!", but the question really doesn't sound like it
goddamn idiots
