Warwick Castle and River Avon from the Mill Garden, Warwick.
Although the castle dates to around 1080, the imposing bulk of the river frontage is from the 14th century, a time, like Broughton Castle near Banbury, when castle architecture was becoming more about status and show than any real defensive role.
A view from the marvelous Mill Garden at the bottom of Mill Street.
The castle mill and its waterwheel are visible in the centre of the image.
On the left is the remains of one of the arches of the old medieval bridge into the town on the original road to Banbury.
