Where is Warwick?
Warwick is situated 11 miles south of Coventry and 3 miles west of Leamington Spa. The town is connected by junctions 13, 14 and 15 to the M40 London to Birmingham motorway, and is positioned on the A46 trunk road between Stratford-upon-Avon and Coventry.
History
The site has been inhabited for thousands of years and Warwick was an important town in the Anglo Saxon Kingdom of Mercia. Following the Norman Conquest in 1066 William the Conquerer built the impressive Warwick castle in 1068 - and it remains a popular tourist attraction to this day. In the medieval period, much of the town was destroyed by the Great Fire of Warwick in 1694. As a result of this, most of the town's architecture is of late 17th and 18th century origin.
