Our self-guided podcast walk through Warwick will unveil some of the stories and anecdotes that make Warwick the wonderful town that it is today. This old town has witnessed some of the most historically significant times in British history such as Celtic settlements, Saxon invasions, and Medieval war. Only 20 minutes away from Warwick you will find the charming town of Stratford-Upon-Avon, where you can discover the quirky tales and mysteries that live on in this quaint market town. Our self-guided podcast tour will uncover more on the life of William Shakespare, and we discover his birthplace and other lesser-known stories about the greatest writer in the English language.
