Founded in 1068 under William the Conqueror, Warwick grew from an earthen motte into a stone powerhouse on the River Avon. Today you walk a 14th‑century keep, intact curtain walls, the Greville‑era Great Hall, and—come summer—see the trebuchet thunder into action. From Birmingham it’s roughly 28 miles down the M40; Royal Leamington Spa sits 10 minutes away with its Regency fronts on the Parade and the leafy Jephson Gardens. A fun footnote: the Avon island was landscaped by Capability Brown in the 18th century for waterborne entertainments.
Your Birmingham chauffeur collects you at your hotel in a comfortable Mercedes, sets the pace around your plans, and waits while you explore the barbican, watch the falconry in the River Island Arena, and admire the oak staircase in the State Rooms. Then it’s a short hop to Royal Leamington Spa for coffee at Coffee Architects and a look inside the Pump Rooms; bags stay in the vehicle, and you head back whenever you’re ready.

Your chauffeur’s tip
Pre‑book an entry slot before 10:30 and aim for the 11:30 falconry show; you’ll have time to climb the keep before the crowds.
