9) I think Warwick castle was an amazing experience, I really enjoyed visiting it. The best thing was that it wasn't a castke only for looking at  it, it was an interactive castle, with a lot of activities, such like the flight of the eagles and the trebuchet fireball show, which we coudnt see, but many people say that it is amazing. 

I really enjoyed the castle specially going into the towers and while you can watch all the castle from above. I also liked the little musseum next to the great hall, were you can watch some madame tussauds statues, about the people who lived and who worked in the caslte.
But the best thing was walking and watching the river and the courtyards, they were really beautiful.
I think that visiting Warwick castle is an amazing experience, is a place that  kids and adults will enjoy. If i have the possibility of traveling to the UK again i will definetely go back to Warwick castle!
