Anyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed with history and there’s nothing more special than visiting the very spots where iconic moments happened.
From bloody battles to royal visits - plenty of castles in the region have survived the most interesting of tales.
All five castles have stood still for centuries and if walls could speak there’d be hundreds of stories.
Some stories we know and some we’ll never know.
These five castles less than an hour’s drive away from Wolverhampton and each of these castle showcase England’s rich past.
From nearby Dudley Castle to the fantastic Tamworth Castle.
Let’s step back in time and visit these castles as we head into the colder months:
5. Warwick Castle
This castle was established by William The Conqueror way back in 1068. Many who visit here can easily spend the entire day at the castle's premises. For a full-day out you can't go wrong with Warwick Castle due to the large-scale nature of its interiors and grounds. This castle is about a 50–55 minutes car journey from Wolverhampton. Address: Castle Hill, Warwick, Warwickshire, CV34 4QU.
