From 1088, it traditionally belonged to the Earl of Warwick but was later taken by Henry II.
Throughout the ages, Warwick Castle has undergone a variety of structural changes and was rebuilt in the 12th Century from being wooden motte-and-bailey into stone.
In 1978, the Castle was purchased by The Tussauds Group where it was opened as a fabulous tourist attraction.
Guided tours of the castle are available for individuals, schools, groups etc.

We visited on Monday thanks to Merlins Magic Wand charity and paid to get back in on Tuesday, it was that good! A HUGE thanks to Mr.Archery guy (never got his name, he liked to shout a lot) who made the visits extra special, the kids are still talking about him! Out of all the attractions we have visited, Warwick staff have been the most pleasant we have met. Thank you! â 9th July 2011
Visited on June 18 and thoroughly enjoyed the day, even with the few showers. Even made it to the top of the towers without blowing any gaskets. I highly recommend this castle, and the town of Warwick, to all my friends who visit mother England.
We spent a fantastic day at the castle yesterday. The place gets more beautiful everytime we visit. All the staff are lovely and helpful. Look forward to visiting again over the summer. Thanks Warwick Castle x 10th July 2011.

Best day out with the kids for a long time, it was the best !!!!!!!!!! June 1st 2011
Went today with my two boys and it was a really perfect. The people and actors are fantastic and the Merlin attraction was great for the boys! They loved it when they got to talk to the dragon in the mirror. Also the people who work in the gift shops are fantastic too- very happy, chatty and friendly. I was amazed when one assistant in the shop by the entrance arranged for one knight costume to be brought up from one of the other shops when they ran out just for one of my boys. All in all 11 out of 10.

Had a great day, some wicked photos. Thoroughly enjoyed the bird show and having a go winding the trebuchet :-)
Been on a number of occasions with various school groups and the children have always been so excited and enthusiastic about their special day out. Definitely a highly recommended venue for an educational school day out.
Warwick Castle is a fantastic historical visitor attraction. I've been here with my children on a number of occasions and enjoyed every visit. There so much to see and always something special going on. Brilliant for School trips too. Highly recommended
