Spent the day at Warwick Castle, "Britain's best medieval experience" according to the blurb ... they've obviously not been to Chesterfield or Swansea then!
Owned by the people who bring you Alton Towers, Chessington World of Adventures, Madame Tussauds and Thorpe Park, I feared it could be an experience at its tacky worst but was pleasantly surprised.
The castle well preserved and restored with plenty of places to visit, the events entirely in keeping with its surroundings including hawking, jousting, launching a Trebauchet (the catapult-like device they used to launch missiles at castles), longbows and more. Certainly very different to most family days out but very rewarding for it and great to do something different.
