Heart of England
Warwick
Warwick, the historic and attractive county town, is dominated by its castle. Standing on a site first fortified 1,000 years ago, the famous Warwick Castle is the finest medieval fortress in the country.
Visitors can enjoy re-enactments of battles and gain a flavour of life from centuries ago with the resident band of fully costumed actors.

Out on the town
Warwick has everything you need for a great night out with restaurants, pubs and nightclubs but to really live it up students take the short train ride to Birmingham.
