In late June, we cashed in some vouchers from our local grocery store loyalty program and ventured out to Warwick Castle for the day. About a 90 minute drive and some of the most gorgeous English countryside around.
A view of the castle as we arrived. It was a perfect day - bright sun, blue skies and not a drop of rain.
Inside the castle we found furnishings from the Victorian era.
And the rose garden had peacocks!
No trip to a castle would be complete without a jousting match - yes, real! A bit hokey as it dramatized the War of the Roses story, but some good horsemanship and real jousting that looked really painful.
They even had a working trebuchet. They launch it twice daily with a show of it's own.
But the best part was the scenery. Such a beautiful location and such a gorgeous day - the photos don't do it justice.
