25 days to go

ALLO GOVNAH! As part of our 4 day London stay, we're doing a day trip to Warwick castle, Oxford, and the Cotswolds. One of Ryan's requests was the we see Warwick castle, his dad has been raving about it so we wanted to put it on the list. In preparation for Warwick, here are some cool facts:

Warwick is a medival castle built in 1068 by William the Conqueror and is located by the River Avon. It has witnessed many mysteries, murders, and wars such as the Hundred Years War and the English Civil War. It is now the UK's top 10 tourist attraction site along with the Tower of London and the Edinburgh Castle. It has been home to many Kings, Dukes, and Earls; in fact, two of the previous owners of Warwick have had family names such as "Dudley" and "Neville" sounds a little familiar...





With over 60 acres of gardens, collections of art and armor, and creepy dungeons; we're going to have a very full day!
