Warwick castle is one of the best reconstructed castles that I have ever seen. It has a whole Disneyland perfection going on although it is owned by Madame Tussaut of the House of Wax fame in London. They put on all sorts of displays of weapons and birds. A beautiful place.
Queen Elizabeth came that day just to say Hi to me.
A view of the grounds from up on a tower.
They had a peacock garden there too. I was hoping to get a photo of a fantastic tail spread but I guess it was molting season as the tails of all of them looked pretty bad.
Did you curtsey for the Queen?
The place does look a bit Disney-esque!
What were the tents for?
Looks like fun. A far cry from New Mexico, for sure.
What a great photo of the peacock even without his fanned tail. Aren\’t they a glorious bird? Hope you\’re enjoying every millisecond of your holiday.
OOOH! What great photos. And wax people just scare me. They’re so real they’re creepy!
England, England……such a wonderful place
Tried to see Warwick Castle once and it was closed because there had been extreme rain and they didn’t want their carpets tracked with mud! So now I’ve seen it anyway, courtesy of Linda.
Thank you. I may never get to visit in person. Visiting with you was very nice.
Beautiful!
