Warwick Castle Tickets

Warwick Castle is one of the oldest, most impressive Medieval fortresses in the United Kingdom. Built in 914, it has a rich history, having been attacked in 1264, besieged in 1642, and damaged by fire in 1871. Despite these events, it remains one of the most well-preserved castles in the country.

Initially used as a military stronghold during the Hundred Years War, it became a country house in the early 17th century under Sir Fulke Greville. It was later owned by the Earls of Warwick until 1978, when it opened to the public.
