9) What do you think about Warwick Castle?
Warwick
castle was an amazing experience. I really enjoyed visiting this really
beautiful medieval castle. This castle was a place with lots of nature and
animals such like peacocks, ducks and gooses. In this castle you can assist to
many activities, just like watching the flight of the eagles, that is when a
falconer makes different birds of prey fly or watch the firing of the Warwick Trebuchet,
that is when the staff from the castle fire this giant catapult. Unfortunately we couldn't watch this show because we arrived late. In the castle there were
towers you can visit, you can go into them and go all the way up to the top,
and when you reach the top you can see the whole castle. When you come down
from the towers, you’ll find yourself in the courtyard where there are several
food shops and one souvenir shop. Walking in the courtyard you can find the
great hall, there you can find a Little museum, where they exhibit armors
weapons and wax statues form the medieval times.
Warwick
Castle is a place that adults and children would enjoy.
Visiting Warwick Castle was one of the best experiences in
my life.
When I come to England again, I am definitely going to visit
this castle again.
