Up from Northamptonshire to Tewkesbury the River Avon passes many beauties and impressive landscapes and structuers but among all the others, the Warwick Castle stands up gloriously. To an observer it seems as if these two natural elements constantly complement each other, Avon on beauty and the castle on strength.
Built by William the Conqueror it was supposed to serve as a defense base for the area but fate had another plans for it. The castle was used as a prison in its lifetime frequently. The most famous prisoner that was held in it was Edward IV king of England along with his wife Margaret of Anjou.

Fulke, a poet, was very keen on the castle and spent a lot to restore it and for some reasons it turned one of the servant furious, he believe that their master paid a lot more attention to the castle but not enough to him. In anger stabbed the master and in a short while turned the knife back to himself and committed suicide. It is said that since then there has been many unexplainable incidents that leaves no option expect believing that the castle is hunted.
The Warwick Castle is enormous. As any fortress is enclosed inside a thick and tall wall with six towers which were used not only for monitoring any suspicious movement around it but also as prisons.
