What is your opinion about Warwick Castle?


Warwick Castle was a very interesting visit because; first of all it has a huge territory and very clean and well maintained, it has green grass and very beautiful constructions that are very old but they are very interesting and attractive. I found very old weapons that I liked them a lot because they were like of a film, Robin Hood mainly. Some of them were bows, catapults (Warwick Trebuchet) etc. It has very tall towers full of little steps to get to the top. I think it was one of the best visits that we made because it was like you were in a film. It was really amazing the constructions, the green places and the amazing story that Warwick Castle has. I had a very good time in there because it had many attractive and old things that were very well maintained. As I said before this castle was like of a film, when I arrived there I thought, I am in Robin Hood’s film. Another thing that I loved of Warwick Castle was that it had many things that we never had seen, such us the weapons, the catapult, the constructions, the towers etc. I loved the towers because it was like you were in a war and they had like something especial, they had a huge amount of steps and very little steps so you didn’t know when you were going to arrive to the top, so that is one of the many things that I loved about Warwick Castle. Finally the last thing that I found curious about this castle was that it had the inside part of the castle open, so you can have a free tour along the rooms, bathrooms etc. They had like false people inside them, like a servant washing some things in the bathroom. So I must say that Warwick Castle is an amazing castle and I loved it, with all the letters. I had a great time in it with my friends and teachers so that made even better.
