Welcome to the County of
Warwickshire. Take a day out and explore the town of Royal Leamington Spa with it’s Georgian and Regency houses, art gallery and museum.
Alternatively you
might like to visit two of the UK’s leading tourist attractions, Warwick Castle
and Stratford upon Avon the birthplace of Shakespeare. Warwick Castle is the
most visited stately home in the UK and is an impressive and majestic structure
dating back to the 14th century.
Warwick gets it’s name from
the old English word ‘wering’ which means river dam. Early records from the
eleventh century name it as ‘waerinc wicum’ meaning river dam dwellings.
Situated on the river Avon it is easy to understand how it acquired it’s name.
