Charlecote Mill

Charlecote Mill is the last working water mill in Warwickshire and still operates commercially producing stoneground flours. The mill opens to the public on the second Sunday of the month and bank holidays throughout the summer from 11.00Am to 5.00Pm. Occasionally the open days are joined by local bakers and teas and home made cakes are always on offer. This is a very rare example of a fully working mill and well worth the visit.

Reviewed By jansQ8019IX

My daughter and I attended a Paranormal Eye event here last night. It was a wonderful evening full of surprises and paranormal activity!!!! The location was easy to find and was very atmospheric. Guys Cliffe is a wonderful old building. Full of nooks and crannies. It oozed charm and felt it had been lived by so many in its time. The curator, Andy, supported us throughout the evening. We could tell that he loved the place. We would love to go back in the summer to have a good look around the extensive grounds. The evening was a great success and we would thoroughly recommend anyone who is interested in the after life to go. It was a brilliant evening. Well done to Paranormal Eye for a fantastic evening.

Lord Leycester Hospital

The Hospital is a historic group of medieval timber-framed buildings dating mainly from the late 14th Century. Of historic significance, they represent one of the finest examples in Britain of medieval courtyard architecture. Clustered around the Norman gateway into the town, the 12th century chapel sits above it. For nearly 200 years this site was home to Warwick’s medieval Guilds. In the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, under the patronage of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, the buildings became a place of retirement for old warriors. These soldiers are known to this day as the Brethren and with the Master, still live within the walls of the building. They are a living legacy of 450 years. Each morning they meet and pray together the words their founder Robert Dudley set down. You can often see the Brethren in ceremonial uniform as they give tours through the buildings and gardens. ​These extraordinary medieval buildings are open to visitors and can also be hired for private events.

I decided to visit it last Tuesday with my husband and two daughters aged 9+11. We were not disappointed! From the moment we arrived, we were met by enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff, in particular, Verity and Peter who went out of their way to bring the history of this remarkable building alive for us all. We took part in the recreation of a typical Tudor school day, complete with Latin lesson within Shakespeare's actual classroom. The room next door has been preserved as a Georgian classroom, with its original features and the chance to dress up and try your hand at writing with a quill pen. We had a fantastic few hours there and each one of us came away with interesting facts and stories. The School Room is not part of any set tour of Stratford, but is well worth a visit to a spectacular building steeped in history.

The Tower @ RSC

Visit the top of the RSC Theatre Tower and enjoy the beautiful views of Stratford-upon-Avon from above.

Reviewed By WallyS04 - Canberra, Australia

Great to see the town from a different perspective, from the river, to the RSC theatres and layout of the town. It is a quick lift ride to the top and back - or a gentle walk down the stairs to the various levels (cafes etc). Great fun and something different to do.
