Warwick Castle, Medieval fortress in Warwick, England.
This medieval fortress sits beside the River Avon and features stone walls, battlements, and towers that illustrate 14th-century military design and strategic defense planning.
Built in 1068 by order of William the Conqueror on the site of a Saxon stronghold, the castle has endured sieges and reconstructions throughout nearly a thousand years.
Local legends tell of ghostly apparitions and unexplained sounds within the castle walls, including reports from workers who heard mysterious footsteps in 1977 during renovations.
The site is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm at Castle Lane with postal code CV34 6AH, accessible by car via the M40 or train to Warwick station approximately one mile away.
