Kenilworth, Leamington Spa, Warwick; UK
My sister studied at University of Warwick, which is actually in Coventry (not Warwick). But during our visit to the UK midlands, we stayed in nearby Kenilworth and visited nearby towns of Leamington Spa and Warwick which are all in Warwickshire!
Victoria Lodge was our pretty home away from home. Undoubtedly this place was our best lodging experience in our whole UK-France Trip. (My sister did a great job booking us here). Our host Jane was really nice and made our whole stay pleasant and enjoyable. I highly recommend Victoria Lodge for anyone visiting the Warwickshire.
Most outside from the UK would most likely be not familiar of these destinations. So what did we get to see and enjoy? :) Well read on...
Of course we wouldn't miss Marion's Flat
The clock tower at Kenilworth, this would be the town center
We would walk to this destination almost everyday
to go the the abbey fields, catch a bus, eat at a restaurant.
a nice 1km walk from Victoria Lodge, passing through shops and pubs
A war memorial, commemorating lives lost from Kenilworth
Abbey fields, a public park where one can explore
the abbey ruins, a creepy graveyard, St. Nicholas church.
At the other side of the park, would be the old high street
Kenilworth castle. Largest castle ruins in the UK
Shopping time at Leamington Spa
Statue of Queen Victoria at Leamington
This monument moved an inch when a bomb striked nearby in WWII
My pretty tea at a tea house near Warwick Castle
Warwick Castle
Witnessed a real trebuchet fire! Amazing...
A view of a Warwick Castle tower from another tower :P
Of course we also visited Marion's University. The University was really nice. Manufacturing Equipment in the management group was to drool for. The Art's center was also awesome. I think Philippine universities are leagues away
