就在斯特拉特福德的北部,是另一个受欢迎的旅游景点:沃里克城堡。 这座城堡最初是由诺曼人在1068年设计的,现在是全国最完整和最宏伟的城堡之一,在英国内战期间奇迹般地逃脱了破坏。

在沃里克城堡的不远处,是凯尼尔沃思城堡,这是一个被毁坏但同样令人印象深刻的堡垒,曾经是伊丽莎白女王一世最喜欢的度假胜地。

沃里克郡也被沃特林街的罗马路一分为二。 从多佛尔经伦敦到沃克斯特,最初的沃特林街的路径今天被A2和A5公路所覆盖。 尽管如此,在北安普敦郡边境的克里克附近,仍有一小部分原始罗马路清晰可见。

沃里克郡也是Edgehill战役的所在地,这是英国内战的第一场战役。 传言说,每年10月23日仍有鬼魂重演,这一事件得到了公共档案局的正式认可。 参观时请自行承担风险!
