Warwick Castle

Warwick Castle is a medieval fortress sited on a sandstone bluff at a bend of the River Avon in the town of Warwick. The stone castle developed from a Norman motte-and-bailey and reached its well-known 14th-century river-facing form under the Beauchamp earls, with prominent round towers, a fortified gatehouse and an ornate riverside facade.

The shape it held in its prime.

A long, river-facing curtain of warm sandstone sits atop a steep cliff overlooking a bend in the River Avon, reflected in the water below. The silhouette is defined by two large cylindrical, crenellated towers with machicolations flanking a fortified gatehouse and barbican; a Watergate opens to the river. South-side domestic ranges with regular tall narrow windows run along the curtain, and continuous battlements crown the walls, the whole presenting as a complete, occupied castle.
