Warwick
Ancient Saxon Warwick, the county town of Warwickshire about 8 miles from Stratford, was founded in the 10 century AD as a defence against the Danes, commanding a superior hill site overlooking the River Avon and controlling the river crossing carrying the roads to London, Stratford, Coventry and Droitwich.
Nowadays Warwick is famous as the site of, arguably, the most complete of mediaeval castles www.warwick-castle.co.uk to be found anywhere on the planet and was the home of the Earls of Warwick until very recently – an excellent day out.
