We have plenty of wonderful memories from our trip to England, but one of our favorite memories is of Warwick Castle. Walking around the grounds of the castle is like walking back in time to England’s rich history when lords, ladies, and knights ruled the land.\u00a0 This was prior to the popularity of Downton Abby<\/em>, so seeing how the wealthy from generations past lived was quite fascinating.\u00a0 One can only imagine what life was like for those fortunate enough to be born into such wealth.<\/p>\n

The rooms have been preserved and are decorated to portray the ambiance of the time period.\u00a0 \u00a0As you walk through the castle, each new room is more splendid than the next.\u00a0 You can almost hear the mannequins talking about the next glorious ball or what to do with the land.\u00a0 It is truly a window into the past that was very special to see.<\/p>\n

The grounds are truly gorgeous and we could easily imagine dawning a riding outfit as we went fox hunting on the open fields.\u00a0 There is even a catapult next to a stunning river that runs through the castle’s property.\u00a0 Climbing up to the top of the castle walls, there are spectacular views of Warwickshire, where the castle is located.\u00a0 For just a moment, we imagined what it would be like to be the owners of all that we could see.<\/p>\n

Obviously it is a tourist attraction and as such there are some things that take away from the overall experience.\u00a0 There is a haunted tour of the tower where costumed characters jump out at you around every corner.\u00a0 No trip to a castle is complete without a trip to the dungeon, but the haunted house theme was a little unnecessary.\u00a0 That being said, we really had a wonderful time seeing every part of the vast estate.<\/p>\n

If you’re in England and have the opportunity to visit Warwick Castle, we would highly recommend it.\u00a0 Just to see the gorgeous countryside, the Tudor homes, and the grand mansion is definitely worth the trip.\u00a0 Warwickshire is located near Stratford-upon-Avon,\u00a0which made it a perfect place to visit\u00a0while also visiting the birthplace of Shakespeare.\u00a0\u00a0Walking the grounds of a true castle that is as well-kept as\u00a0Warwick Castle allows you to truly understand how grand and opulent their lives truly were.<\/p>\n
