There are many things to see in Warwick and, whilst this doesn’t warrant a great deal of your time, it is still nice to see. Although not a massive statue it is imposing and impressive. Randolph in all his glory and his history in association with the town explained well. Just off the main town Square you can’t miss it.

4. Collegiate Church of St Mary's

Collegiate Church of St Mary’s was one of two churches (plus Westminster Abbey) I visited while travelling around London with my father and older brother. Similar to Temple Church in London (the other of the two), I ended up enjoying the experience more than my experience at Westminster Abbey simply because it was interesting without being overstimulating or crowded. If you’re in Warwick, it’s definitely worth the visit. First of all, entry is free although the church really appreciates donations. Doing the Tower of St Mary’s climb and/or guided tours do, however, incur fees. Second, the church was built in 1123 so it has a strong sense of history reflected in its architecture. It doesn’t have as many effigies as the Temple Church but it has two chapels; Beauchamp Chapel houses the tomb Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick among other tombs and is quite interesting to see. I was also in awe of the crypt with the number of people buried and how far back the burials date. Third they have a great giftshop in the corner of the Nave. Although you don’t have to be religious to appreciate the things they sell, I have a friend who’s very religious so it was the perfect place to buy souvenirs and her birthday present.

There's so much to do at St Nicholas Park. We particularly enjoyed going for a walk along the river and playing adventure golf.
6. Hatton Locks
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 319 reviews
State of the art locks were built at Hatton to flight off stiff competition from the roads and railways in the 1930's. When the locks were completed bands played and crowds gathered to watch the Duke of Kent arrive by boat and cut the ribbon. Today Hatton Locks is a lovely peaceful location to watch the colourful narrowboats as they move through the flight and if thats too much excitement why not enjoy a picnic or bite to eat in the cafe.

We were looking for something to pass the time on a wet day and stumbled across Hatton Locks. Fantastic watching a narrow boat navigate the locks. The cafe is comfortable with friendly staff and good snacks and lunches. The car parking system is AWFUL and will put many off which is a real shame

We were made most welcome by the very knowledgeable volunteers who had a mirriard of facts and figures at their fingertips. They told stories that came alive and made you understand what it must have been like to be in service back in the day. We could only afford one hour for this visit, but we will return for further entertainment and education.

Since opening my Sweet Emporium at 62, Castle Street, Hinckley three years ago, I have been delighted by the response of customers from all over the world, who love the authentic Edwardian look of the shop and marvel at the fact that they are now able to buy a quarter of the sweets they grew up with . It's just like you remember sweet shops were like when you were growing up!

Paula gave us a fascinating, informative and evocative tour of the old Court House and the immediate vicinity, painting for us a vivid and lingering picture of how this area of the Town would have looked hundreds of years ago and the different purposes that it served. This is now one of my favourite areas of Warwick as I feel that I know so much about it. Paula brought the building, the locality and the various people of note connected to the old Court House alive in our minds, immersing us in its fascinating history and imparting lots of facts and stories that I will remember and share for a long time. A Saturday morning wonderfully spent, thank you.
