Warwickshire is primarily an agricultural county of undulating terrain.
The medieval castle of Warwick, an imposing fortress on the banks of the River Avon, is one of the
country's most visited tourist attractions. Dominating the town around it, this vast castle has dramatic
ramparts, a dungeon, torture chamber and sumptuous state rooms.
Similarly, visitors flock to the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare. His plays are
frequently performed here and five properties connected with the dramatist have been carefully preserved.
