Things to do in Warwickshire
Experience the best of Warwickshire
If you’re the adventurous sort, you’ve got the entire county of Warwickshire to explore, not just Stratford-upon-Avon. Here’s just a handful of interesting places to discover…
Compton Verney House
Pay a visit to this stately Georgian manor in the little village of Compton Verney.
Tour the house and take a stroll around the grounds that were relandscaped in 1769 by the famous Capability Brown. While no one has lived in the house since WWII, it’s often used as a filming location and is well exploring.
20 minute drive
Royal Pump Rooms
Discover the history of Royal Leamington Spa.
The baths were popularised in the Victorian era due to the rediscovery of the saline rich water of the River Leam. Now, the bathhouse is a cultural complex with an art gallery, a library and a swimming pool.
20 minute drive
Kenilworth Castle
Delve into the past of Queen Elizabeth I at Kenilworth Castle.
