Many of the streets in Warwick's old town still have attractive 17th- and 18th-century buildings.
Points of interest include the Court House with its Georgian ballroom, Landor House, and the lovely Shire Hall with its octagonal tower lantern. The West Gate has been retained from the old town walls, and guilds have assembled in the early-Gothic St. James' Chapel since 1383.
An especially fun thing to do is visit the always-bustling Saturday Market. A Warwick tradition that has been held in Market Square for more than 500 years, the market is a great way to experience the historic town centre as you sample delightful tasty treats or buy locally grown produce. Shoppers should also venture over to Swan and Smith Streets to explore the boutique shops
