#celebratewithtrip #unitedkingdom #warwick #staycations We liked Warwick more than we thought we would and really enjoyed a day trip to this town. It has ancient origins and an array of historic buildings, notably from the Medieval, Stuart and Georgian eras. It was a major fortified settlement from the early Middle Ages, the most notable relic of this period being Warwick Castle, a major tourist attraction. We have shared a lot of information about Warwick Castle, just check our previous posts.

#celebratewithtrip #unitedkingdom #castle #warwick Warwick castle is much bigger than we thought and we did spend a whole day at the castle grounds. If you plan a trip, account for at least 6 hours to make the most of your visit. You can walk on the walls, visit the state rooms and the Great Hall, walk in the park and explore the Peacock Gardens. Obviously you will need some time to eat as well. You can bring your own food or just buy something from the Castle grounds.

#celebratewithtrip #unitedkingdom #castle #tripblazers #fallingforfall We did a day trip to Warwick and Warwick Castle but barely got to see the city as the Castle was much bigger than we through and there were a lot of things to do. Most castles in England you can see within a couple of hours, but Warwick Castle takes the whole day and then some to explore, so it's a fantastic day out and well worth the money! There's so much to do you will be spoiled for choice.

#celebratewithtrip #unitedkingdom #castle #fallingforfall #tripblazers The views from Warwick Castle are stunning, especially on an autumn day. We enjoyed a day out and spent most of the day admiring the Castle grounds and wandering around. A great day trip from London and we will be certainly visiting this place again. If you have been there, what did you like the most? Let us know in the comments.

Today I went to a less popular Theme Park Princesses who like castles or princes who are knights will be happy to visit There are also many decorative paintings of furniture from ancient courts to visit The scenery is quite very comfortable There is a Peacock Garden where you will see some peacocks walking around and asking you for food like some ducklings, which is very funny There is Christmas Castle coming up. Christmas is very atmospheric #Good place for parents and children #OverseasTravel

Warwick Castle, located in Warwickshire, England, is said to have been built in 1068, which means it has a history of more than a hundred years. It has been rebuilt and expanded many times and is now relatively intact. It is also the filming location for Harry Potter. The castle looks small on the outside, but it actually covers a very large area and has different areas such as the Peacock Garden, the Museum and some ancient war performances. The performances are well worth watching. There is also a hotel in the castle that provides accommodation. The price is about over a thousand Hong Kong dollars. The rooms are decorated in an antique style. You can stay there if you have free time. Also, pay attention to the castle's opening hours when planning your trip. It is recommended to visit in the morning as there will be fewer and fewer visitors in the afternoon, which may feel a bit scary. Rating: 8/10 #castle #free show #garden #museum

When the princess comes to the UK, of course she has to visit the castle🏰, this time we are visiting the Warwick castle🤭 Think just walking around the castle is boring? It's not! There is always a playground near you in the UK😂 Zog Playland just opened in early April. Although we have not read this book, the playground facilities are brightly colored and combine sensory and physical facilities to give children the feeling of being in the storyline. In addition to this playground, there is also a Zog and the quest for the golden star trail, where children can pick up a card at the entrance to complete different missions at different checkpoints. There is also a Horrible Histories Maze in the castle, which uses interactive installations to allow visitors to learn about wartime history. However, the maze was big and complex at the Paradise Hotel, and it was a bit difficult to get out🥲 One came, of course, to walk up the castle towers to see the panoramic view outside the city walls. It turns out that the roundabout staircase in the tower is really narrow and high. How did the soldiers in the past walk up the tower at a critical moment? The walk was endless, once we reached the exit of Guy's Tower, it was already very high😱 If you are afraid of heights, you can visit the other side of the Princess Tower, which distributes Princess tickets in time. The castle hides the little details of the Disney princess. The day of the Warwick Castle tour was clear, the castle's back garden has peacocks 🦚 freely walking around, large grass for you to roll 😆 I have to mention The Falconer's Quest this performance, there are 60 castle-related birds together to perform, the performance throughout the audience, sometimes over everyone's heads, very shocking! Warm reminder 💗 This is also under the banner of Merlin Pass. If you have an annual pass, remember to make an appointment online in advance. Relative to other adventure parks, the in-park consumption is higher here, maybe the castle produce is different?

The Christmas atmosphere gently permeating the castle grounds was truly magical. The charming decorations and props adorning the castle entrance made it a photogenic spot. The small Christmas market in the castle square offered warm mulled wine and street food, making the cold even more memorable. The twinkling lights against the backdrop of the massive castle created a fairytale-like winter wonderland. Using my #DecemberTravelSupport, I was able to save money on round-trip train tickets from London to Warwick and enjoy a warm cup of coffee while enjoying the tranquility of the castle grounds. Many families also visited, and it was truly impressive to see children participating in the medieval knight experience program. The castle tour is longer than expected, so I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. If you're looking for an unforgettable winter romance experience, I highly recommend Warwick Castle!

#DecemberTravelSupport Medieval Time Travel, Warwick Castle in December 🛡️ #DecemberTravelSupport #WarwickCastle #MedievalEra #Grandeur Located near London, Warwick Castle is worth a visit for its grandeur alone. The tranquil atmosphere, especially during my December visit, was indescribable. The performances performed by actors in medieval costumes throughout the castle made it feel like I had traveled back in time to the Middle Ages, transcending the mere experience of sightseeing. Strolling through the Great Hall, where knights' armor and weapons were on display, allowed me to experience over a thousand years of British history firsthand. The cool outdoor air filtered into the castle walls, adding to the sense of antiquity. The well-preserved spaces within the castle vividly portray royal life and historical events. However, during the winter, a thick coat and a hot pack are essential for outdoor shows. Thanks to the #DecemberTravelSupport, I was able to avoid unexpected expenses and leisurely purchase some lovely medieval-themed souvenirs at the castle's gift shop. Warwick Castle is a paradise for history buffs.

#DecemberTravelSupport The thrill of an eagle show and archery experience 🦅🏹 #DecemberTravelSupport #EagleShow #LiveShow #LiveExperience The highlight of a visit to Warwick Castle is definitely the live show. Despite the cold December weather, the eagle show (The Falconer's Quest) was truly thrilling and dynamic. Everyone cheered as the giant eagle soared overhead. The archery demonstration and reenactment of a sword fight, reminiscent of medieval times, were also truly captivating. It felt more like experiencing living history than simply an exhibition. I used the money I saved from my #DecemberTravelSupport to participate in a paid archery experience. While it wasn't as challenging as I thought, I was deeply satisfied with the experience of being a medieval soldier. Even if it's cold, I highly recommend checking out the outdoor show. After the show, walking along the castle walls and taking in the beautiful scenery of Warwickshire was a must-see. It would be a great destination for anyone interested in British medieval history.

#DecemberTravelSupport History Walks as You Climb the Castle Walls and Towers 🏰🚶♀️ #DecemberTravelSupport #CastleWallTour #HistoryStudy #View Warwick Castle offers so much to see that you could easily spend an entire day just climbing the walls and towers. The view from the top of Guy's Tower, a steep staircase climbed to the top, was truly breathtaking. The panoramic view of Warwick City and the river under the clear December sky was truly healing. Each tower featured fascinating exhibits on medieval life and battles, ensuring a constant flow of activity. The Wall Walk along the castle walls allowed us to experience what it was like defending the castle from the perspective of medieval knights. There were also well-designed exhibits featuring dungeons and wizards that kids would enjoy. Without the #DecemberTravelSupport, this weekend family trip would have been a bit hesitant, but thanks to it, we were able to enjoy both an educational historical experience and the beautiful winter scenery. However, winter wall tours can be windy and slippery, so it's important to dress warmly and safely.

The well-preserved interiors and the chilling allure of the 'Dungeon' 🗝️🩸 The interior of Warwick Castle is astonishingly well-preserved. From the Great Hall to the kitchen and bedrooms, the medieval furniture and artifacts on display make it feel as though someone lived there just yesterday. Particularly, the Castle Dungeon experience offers a chilling thrill. This area recreates Warwick Castle's 'bloody history,' and the realistic performances by actors make it feel like a scene from a horror movie. While it might be a bit too scary for children, it provides adults with a fascinating glimpse into the darker aspects of medieval times. The guided tour inside the castle, which is included in the ticket price, offers in-depth explanations, making the experience even more enriching. If you're curious about the gruesome history hidden behind the castle's grandeur, the Dungeon experience is a must. Visiting in December, during the off-season, made the tour more comfortable and enjoyable.

The ultimate medieval experience for family travelers 👨👩👧👦 Thanks to our family trip, we had the chance to visit Warwick Castle, and it was an absolute delight with its educational and entertaining activities for kids. The 1,100-year-old castle served as a living history textbook. The children were thrilled to take photos with actors dressed in medieval costumes and listen to the tales of knights, sparking their interest in history. Themed programs like the 'Wizard School' were particularly engaging, stimulating the kids' imaginations. Interactive exhibits scattered throughout the castle ensured there was never a dull moment. The expansive lawns and gardens, where peacocks roamed freely, provided a perfect space for the kids to run around. Although the December weather in England was chilly, the castle's interiors were well-heated, making indoor activities comfortable. It was the perfect winter getaway where our family created cherished memories while experiencing the medieval era together.

#DecemberTravelSupport Antique architectural beauty and traces of the Wars of the Roses 🥀🏰 #DecemberTravelSupport #ArchitecturalBeauty #WarsOfTheRoses #PhotogenicPlaces Warwick Castle's architecture is truly beautiful and quaint. From its early Norman architecture to its Tudor additions, it offers a glimpse into British architectural history. The castle's outer walls and moat, in particular, showcase the strength of a medieval fortress that endured countless battles. The historical artifacts related to the Wars of the Roses exhibited within the castle were fascinating, revealing the significant role the Warwick family played in this conflict. The low December sun casting long shadows on the castle walls provides a perfect backdrop for photographers. I used the money saved with my #DecemberTravelSupport to explore the quaint neighborhood surrounding the castle and spend an afternoon at a charming cafe. For those who want to experience both the castle's historical significance and its stunning architecture, Warwick Castle is a great choice.

A Romantic Riverside Walk 🦢🚶♂️ Warwick Castle is situated next to the River Avon, offering the advantage of enjoying beautiful riverside scenery. The walking trail along the castle blends perfectly with the serene atmosphere of December, creating a romantic and healing experience. The gently flowing river with the castle walls as a backdrop brings a sense of peace. Peacocks leisurely strolling on the lawn added a picturesque touch. When you feel tired from exploring the castle, I recommend taking a break on a riverside bench. Visiting Warwick with a relaxed schedule allowed me to fully appreciate not only the castle but also the surrounding natural scenery. The sight of the winter sun reflecting off the river became an unforgettable memory. Dining at the restaurant inside the castle, enjoying a warm cup of tea while gazing at the riverside, is also a delightful experience.

Experience the luxurious lifestyle of British nobility 👑🛋️ The 'State Rooms' inside Warwick Castle offer a glimpse into the opulent and lavish lives of British aristocrats. Each room is filled with the finest furniture and artworks of the era, making it a feast for the eyes. Particularly striking were the silver tableware displayed in the dining room and the grand beds in the bedrooms, which gave a sense of the scale of noble life. The soft natural light of December streaming in and reflecting off the antique furniture created an overwhelmingly majestic atmosphere. With some extra time, I rented an audio guide, which enhanced the experience by providing historical backgrounds and stories of the figures associated with each room. Exploring the well-preserved interior of the castle was a valuable opportunity to deepen my knowledge of British history and culture. It felt as if I had been invited as a noble guest to a medieval castle.

The actors' witty performances and witty dialogue delighted everyone. Such realistic performances will be a valuable addition to children's history education. Thanks to my #DecemberTravelSupport, I was able to take a day trip this weekend without hesitation, and the live shows significantly enhanced my trip satisfaction. The segment depicting the lives of medieval knights was particularly captivating. I applaud the actors' professionalism in performing outdoors, even in the cold weather. If you visit Warwick Castle, be sure to check the live show schedule on the guide map you received upon entry.

#DecemberTravelSupport Medieval Battle Reenactment at Warwick Castle Tower ⚔️🔥 #DecemberTravelSupport #BattleReenactment #Spectacle #Dynamic Warwick Castle hosts a spectacular live show that realistically recreates medieval battles.

The actors' dynamic, self-confident performances drew a standing ovation from the audience. The show wasn't just a simple demonstration; it was also filled with storytelling based on the castle's historical events, making it even more exciting. Thanks to my #DecemberTravelSupport, I was able to avoid worrying about transportation costs and arrive early, securing a prime spot for the battle reenactment. The sounds of shouts and clashing swords, especially in the chilly winter air, brought the tension of the Middle Ages to life even more vividly. For travelers who enjoy dynamic spectacles, the battle reenactment at Warwick Castle is a must-see.
