Warwick, England lies in the county of Warwickshire and serves as the county seat. It is an incredibly beautiful city that is full of historic landmarks and buildings that date from various epochs and represent the architectural designs of them. The city itself contains an element of awe and inspiration, packed as it is with its great buildings and various icons. The city is full of incredible landmarks such as Warwick Castle, the Collegiate Church of Saint Mary and Guy’s Cliffe House that keep residents staying in a fine Warwick hotel enthralled and captivated. And they are in good company.

The Warwick Castle dates from the medieval Times and is located on a cliff that overlooks a bend in the River Avon. The river itself plays an important role in English history and is certainly a prominent body of water in the medieval times. It is interesting sit at the river and imagine the castle, river and people as they were centuries ago and it is incredible to think that this incredible building still exits as a representation of it its time. Guy’s Cliffe House is also located along the River Avon, though and is located in the country between Warwick and Old Milverton. It is very easily accessed and its grandeur and beauty are well worth the trip. The house derives its name from the legendary Guy of Warwick and dates and occupation of it dates back to the Saxon era. Unfortunately it has been in a state of desertion since the mid 20th century. It has been purchased in 1947 with the intention of turning it into a hotel, and what an amazing country resort this would be if that is able to manifest. The Collegiate Church of St Mary lies in the center of town near the market place. This incredible building’s foundation dates back to the early 12th century.
