"Warwick Castle". A Medieval Fortress, Owned and run by "Madame Tussauds" Warwickshire, England 

My mother, grandmother and I went to Warwick Castle in 1957. I was 9. A nice train ride from Erdington. It was a lovely, interesting tour. Not crowded. None of the commercialism spoken of in the comments. I have beautiful photos of the day. Wonderful memories.

Its good to see Warwick Castle again even in video only. Its the 1st castle I went into when my sister invited me for a visit in 2005 bcoz she lives in Birmingham. It made my childhood dream come true- of going/ being in an actual castle! And the memory will live on until i die i guess. How i wish i couls go back to England!

I thought it was nice. But then, I'm from North America. The castle was nicely decorated and the grounds were amazing. I appreciated the staging of the "family" in typical poses. As a tourist, I was impressed. Isn't that the point?

this was wonderful! i visited warwick 20 years ago when i was 7 and this brought all those fuzzy memories into a much sharper focus

It was beautiful when I went many years ago it was very raw in its time with the beautiful displays inside of the garden party

I was there in 1975 before the Tussaud takeover, when it was still owned by lord Brooke. They had an equestrian show with a very funny knight who treated the audience as peasants who should be grateful for the honour of watching him practise. Loved the site.

And still fabulous in 2014. Very pleased to have spent a great day here last week. Here's to many more visits in the years to come. Thanks Merlin Entertainment, for an outstanding attraction.

Thank You K.K. for providing this fine documentary. The whole presentation is exceptional. The history of this particular landmark is extraordinary and every inhabitant intriguing. I can imagine & picture York's Sir Richard Neville (kingmaker) and his family walking the grounds and planning out their schemes in the big hall during the wars of the Roses era.

I remember visiting the castle with our school. Ive heard its more theme park themed now instead of history lessons as it was when i went for the first time. I will always remember that vist and its where my thirst for knowledge about the war of the roses started. At least she is being preserved for future generation's.

I was about 12 when l went on a school history day out … most enjoyable time it was ❤

Wonderful. Fantastic. I am so glad it was restored and is available today. Sigh.

We love castles so much that we decided to visit and film all 130 castles (and other things) in the care of CADW in one year. If you are wondering why, well, It seemed like a good idea at the time. And hopefully, it is. There are just so many beautiful castles here in Wales and it's well worth going to see as many as you can. Do it!

One of my favourite castles in England. Really magnificent.

We've been there twice. The first time was in 1986, and more recently five years ago. My wife and I love it. They've added so much, I'm glad we took the time to go back to the castle since we were in that part of the country. We especially enjoyed the 'siege engine' demonstration, and the period actors they've employed here and there. The first time we had been there we were among the few, but this time the place was packed, probably because the owners have put in such an effort to bring the castle's history to life by adding the jousting, etc..

When I visited the great Hall there in 1975, a recording advertised it as the most haunted room in England. Of course, I had heard that one before!

My partner booked tickets for us to go. We were really looking forward to it but when we got there it felt like such a money grab and just like a theme park. Him and I were really disappointed, you had to que for everything as it was all turned into a theme park attraction. There was a theatrical section about the plague and you learn absolutely nothing about the plague, you just get a bunch of people screaming at you... Something you definitely wouldn't have energy to do if you suffered from the plague. There was a man showing kids exactly how not to fight with an arming sword for £5. As if you hadn't already paid and extortionate amount for the tickets. The historical value of the castle had been almost completely destroyed and it just seemed like they cared more about making money than teaching the history of the castle. It was a fun day out but even the "fire joust" at night was ridiculous, it was barely a joust and when the 2 opponents started fighting they were doing stupid twirls and it looked utterly stupid. I think it needs to be handed to English Heritage, castles should not be sold to theme park creators.

Me and my Husband went to Warwick Castle 🏰 few months ago it is very nice and beautiful around.. I loved it.. My Husband booked again for my Birthday 🎂 coming in October... But something just happened.. So I need to cancel and re-book for next year 😊.. I love all the people working at Warwick Castle 🏰 they're all very kind thanks from Stephanie Huynh 🏰👍

Warwick Castle is one of my loving castle in the UK

incredible and a great history lesson. I would love to visit this castle

I visited a castle similar looking to this one 3 years ago in Scotland. And the weird thing was, when you get off the grounds and go just a block down the street, there was a Wal-mart! True story!!!!!!!

Been to Warwick Castle. Its a stunning place.

Visited Warwick a few times, we had a great time, the Staff were very nice, --- inside was fantastic, The Great Hall, the Stables & much more, we enjoyed every minute, we laughed, & had loads of fun. We went into the Merlin Tower, the Chapel, the bedrooms, & many others, a fun day out & would do it again. The Bear Pit has now been opened. ----- Plus now there's Glamping -------- :) The Staff were helpful, entertaining, funny & polite, any questions answered. :)

Thanks for the video. I'm a regular visitor to the Castle but you've got excellent footage here and footage of the view from the top of the towers, a view I've never seen personally having never made the climb so thank you for a lovely video and the factual commentary some of which like the Trebuchet record that I'd never heard before.

When you think of how much of English history runs through the Earls of Warwick, this castle makes sense. Henry the 2nd was an awesome king, my favorite, nice to hear he was part of this story. Ah the seeds history were planted here.

I would love to go see this castle. It is part of my family's history.

I went to visit this castle in one cold day in November - hardly anyone there - it was perfect 👌 no lines (cues)

Very well narrated, my compliment. Thanks.

I love his voice and the castles are beautiful

Amazing! I love midieval history/ castles

The dungeon at Warwick is the creepiest, haunted room I've ever visited

All these areas are in the vicinity of coventry which is a great place to live as it surrounded by Warwick, leamington, Solihull, Stratford. Instead of leaving in expensive towns listen above it's better to live in coventry and visit these towns for a day out and still be home in time.🙂

Hmm! Rather, "Touristy"! Then again, it is wonderful, that the Castle has been preserved, for future generations to experience. ❤❤❤ Roland Singh, Canada 🇨🇦

Such a handsome castle. Hoping that I could visit it one day, I love the castles and specially heritage things. Rigid cost really depressing me, but what to do😭

Beautiful Castle 🏰

So glad it’s still going good 🎉🎉🎉

Cool nice battlements. Nice house. I like the gate best. Thanks

I don’t recall which year I visited. I enjoyed it very much.

6:21 as someone who’s afraid of heights, I was totally terrified when I looked down when I went up to the Guy tower.

Beautiful!

It's owned and run by Merlin Entertainments. Madame Tussauds is a wax museum

Total gem.

That's a great cassle my husband is a Warwick also my kids to

I WONT GO TO THIS THEMED PARK 🤔NICE HISTORY 🤔WHY DIDNT WE GET ANY LOOKS INSIDE ? ALSO WAS IT AVAILABLE AS A PRIVATE TOUR TO PROMOTE YOUR VIDEO ? 🍀🌷

Makes a wonderful day out, so much to see and no one is forcing you to pay for the extra attractions, the castle, house and grounds are enough by themselves so don't be put off by the usual miseries who always find something to moan about. Running a castle like that doesn't come cheap and without the investment it's quite possible it would have become a ruin in not so many years.

Great fun 🎉🎉🎉

I am descended from both King Henry II and the Nevilles, the Earls of Warwick.

Nice castle. Might visit one day. 😀

Good overview. Makes me want to visit

Visited yesterday. The castle is fascinating. Could do without some of the corny entertainment. But I suppose it has something for everyone. Loved all the treasures inside the castle. The climb up the towers was excruciating so avoid if your not super fit!

I'm puzzled. I always thought that the reason Brits drive on the left side of the road was because of the need to keep an enemy on your right side, (in a historical context). This would mean that lance and sword defenses would also be more direct in attack. I noticed that typical medieval movies made by Americans generally placed armed combatants on the opposite side, blunting their effectiveness. Here, clearly in a British setting, we see the same American style of jousting. What gives? Is it "safer" to joust in a less direct fashion? Why don't they approach in a more direct fashion, placing the attacker directly beyond the lance?

A fine old place. My ancestors were in Armithwaite.

the return of druids ... magic ... and esoteric philosophy and lifestyle worldwide. how very ... FUN!

when they mentioned Daisy and Bertie, I wondered if they were going to talk about the fact that she was his favourite mistress. she had a railway built to bring her "swinger" guests to the castle. she held events there that were 19th century key parties. ha ha ha!!!

Beautiful

Amazing what a structure.

hello warick castle im from forest lodge and we are going here tomorow

Interesting, I love Warwick.

The Warwicks will rise again.

to bad we couldn't see more of the inside

Are the Greville family still the Earls of Warwick or has the family died out and the title returned to the crown?

Thank you. Great presentation. Informative

Awesome.

nicely done

OMG cant listen to this guys voice !

Wonder if I can claim that castle. I'm blood decent of robert the first of normandy and rollo of normandy and we helped william win the war of Hastings and have the deed from king henry granting the lands in Warwick England.

I beleive the family's name was Neville..??? One of them was nick named the "Kingmaker" during wars of the roses.

God if that castle could talk how interesting it would be

this place is fabulous go there

Pardon the pun but private ownership is a double-edged sword in this case. The castle looks great -- much better than it would if it were owned by the government -- but turning it into a theme park turns many people off. Surely there's a way to do the former without having to do the latter.

Master builders

Nace video!

I have been here. Lots it's cool but I saw a ghost of a yong girl she said come play I was soooooooo scared

Nice history

I will have a castle before I die...

The faces of Winston Churchill and Lady Randolph Church replicas resemble little to photographs of them.

Bears Tower...where they kept the bears that they dropped on top of annoying people outside the gate. Ive watched too much MontyPython

Interesting thank you!

Earl of Warwick aka 'the King maker'

i really wanna go :)

A bit more factual than our venture there!

Dare I speculate (being from Texas) that the knights' colors are of the de Veres and Blounts?

When I saw the outside I thought I would love to see this place but then I saw the inside that just makes it look like 2 time periods has collided. I think the inside should reflect the outside. How many such old castle still exist so when finally there is one I would love to have known what it looked like in the beginning of it's time. There is plenty to see of more modern times like the Victorian era so to me that is boring boring boring. Sorry but that is how I feel. It's like if you took Disney world and changed the inside to Harry Potter theme.

What was the black princes surname he was on my grandads mums side of the family.

The noob who looted the PARTHENON Marbles from Greece was Elgin and Scottish from Scotland. (Never Forget That) Because you have never apologised or returned them back to Greece. Plus: I want you to know and understand that I pride myself on ripping-off Scottish and English tourists and I passionately enjoy the experience with all my Heart and soul. And It gives me immense pleasure to announce that, indeed.

I visited this castle in the 1980s and it was wonderful about 15 years later it’s changed into a theme park. Very disappointing… By the way it’s no longer owned by Madame Tussaud’s

Dear Sir: it is Madame Tew-sews, not too sods!

Be good if you got some of the surname sounds correct.. Beauchamp, is pronounced Beecham.. And Beaufort you promounced incorrectly.. You said trebuchet correctly though.. Ive seen this very one .

my name is warwick you thinking me name no you

Great show, however the narrator sounds like a robot.

My family owned this castle once upon a time. The person who owned it was my great great great great great great grandad or something like that he was a Prince and he was black. My family have tried to claim the castle back for years but because the Prince spelled his surname wrong we can't get it back.

Anybody in the Dungeon?

Hence the waxwork figures 😂oops

Some castels looks like a prison OUTSIDE....🌍

Kris's two swords?

No Interior photos

In brief, a great castle turned into a Disney like theme park. Won't be visiting that castle. Go to Ludlow or Pembroke, or Hever, Walmer, Conwy, or...any castle which is open to visitors because it's a castle and not because it has candy floss and money grabbing attractions.

Bought for £1.3 m!

all the castles here just remind me of another invader's boot on our necks ever since William got here and the many who came before him...
