Warwickshire
Warwickshire truly is at heart of the country, with some of the most attractive towns and villages in England set amongst beautiful countryside. The county is split into five districts each with their own distinctive feel, but wherever you are in the county there is always a sense that you can access everything you need without the hassles that go with life in the large cities.
Warwickshire offers an array of attractions and activities - from visiting the birthplace of Shakespeare in the south of Warwickshire to exploring the historic homes and sporting attractions such as the iconic Belfry in the north.
To the east of the county the town of Rugby is internationally known as the birthplace of the game of Rugby Football. The close at Rugby School is little changed today, drawing many visitors each year who wish to stand in the exact spot where the game began.
Warwickshire and Coventry are rich with history, and have played an important role during England’s timeline – be this during the age of the Roman Empire, the English Civil War or in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605.
Warwickshire and Coventry are full of interesting places to visit and offer many things to do whatever the time of year. Whether it's tracing the footsteps of William Shakespeare through Stratford, or being part of the crowds during the Godiva or Winter festivals.
The Royal Shakespeare theatres, magnificent castles and historic houses make Warwickshire an exceptional place to visit. Many attractions are reasonably priced and can be enjoyed by all the family.
Coventry and the towns of Warwickshire each have their own distinct character. Coventry is a modern lively City and as such offers a fantastic range of facilities and amenities alongside charming traditional buildings. Warwickshire in turn has many picturesque towns and villages, including Market towns, Coach towns, and grand Georgian towns. Each offer many sights to see and attractions to visit.
