Warwick Castle
Another well-known castle loved by both locals and foreigners alike is the Warwick Castle in Warwickshire. Originally a motte-and-bailey castle established after the Norman conquest of England, in the 12th century it was rebuilt in stone.
Located on the bend of River Avon, Warwick Castle features a dry moat along the northern side since there is no protection by the river. In the 14th century additions for defense were made by adding a gatehouse, Caesar’s Tower and Guy’s Tower, as well as a barbican.
