Things to do
Whatever brings you to Warwickshire - a long weekend, a day trip, a family holiday or if you live here - there is more here than you might expect, and more than you'll manage in a single visit.
This is a county where history isn't behind glass. You can walk the same streets as Shakespeare, follow Roman roads across open countryside, stand in the castle where Edward II was deposed and explore the houses where the Gunpowder Plot was hatched. Warwickshire's past is present everywhere you look - and its countryside, its culture and its towns and villages make it just as rewarding for those who simply want to slow down and enjoy being here.
Browse by interest or let the itineraries do the planning for you. There's something for every pace and every passion.
