Itineraries

Warwickshire spoils you for choice. History, country gardens, Shakespeare, literary links, Roman roads and architecture from medieval times to modern - and that's before you've had lunch. So we've done some of the planning for you.

Whether you want to follow in the footsteps of royalty, trace the county's Roman past, explore its extraordinary literary connections or simply find the best gardens or riverside views, there's an itinerary to get you started. Dip in, mix and match, or follow one from beginning to end - it's entirely up to you.

One thing worth remembering: these are guides, not instructions. Skip a stop if it doesn't appeal, linger longer if it does, and add something of your own if the mood takes you. Check opening times and admission prices before you set off - a few of Warwickshire's finest houses and gardens are only open on selected days - and keep an eye on our What's On page for special events and exhibitions that might be worth building your day around.

The rest is yours to discover.
