Warwickshire's county town, with its castle above the Avon and medieval streets
Warwick is the county town of Warwickshire, on the River Avon about 9 miles south of Coventry, and it adjoins Leamington Spa. Its castle began as a wooden fort built by William the Conqueror in 1068 and was rebuilt in stone from the 12th century.
Beyond the castle, the Lord Leycester's medieval courtyard stands by the West Gate, the Collegiate Church of St Mary rises east of the Market Place, and the Market Hall Museum, the Fusilier Museum and the Queen's Royal Hussars Museum are all within a few minutes' walk. The racecourse lies on the western edge of the centre.
