England is more than London! Rich in history, tradition and beautiful scenery, this small country has much to enjoy. Welcome to England Travel on Skiponover.com, by Jill Browne.

England Travel - May 2009

For anyone who hasn't seen a real castle yet, Warwick is a pretty nice one to start with. It's about 100 miles from London. Not a short distance, but doable as a day trip. Works well as part of a weekend away too, combined with a look at Kenilworth Castle for example, and maybe even a stop in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Warwick Castle as I remember it has a lot of dungeons! I see from at least one website that it has a giant trebuchet. Can't help it... this reminds me of Monty Python and The Holy Grail. How irreverent, I know.

It's been some time, but we visited as two families with young children and it was popular with all.
