Warwickshire

Charming Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of Shakespeare, is but one of the jewels in Warwickshire’s crown. Join the crowds at key attractions, not least superb theatre at the Royal Shakespeare Company. Visit pint-sized Warwick’s magnificent castle and Kenilworth’s atmospheric ruins. On the banks of the river Leam, Royal Leamington Spa, is elegant with Regency piles marching down handsome boulevards. The county is also home to the school that gave the world the sport of Rugby. Dotted with pretty towns and framed by rippling hills, Warwickshire’s timeless feel waits to be discovered from our collection of special places to stay.
