Overall rating

The ticket prices for the attractions in Warwick Castle and Shakespeare's hometown are very high. If you want to spend a whole day and travel to both places, it is highly recommended to buy a pass, which will be quite cost-effective. But if the time is very short, this is not necessarily the case, because many attractions in Shakespeare’s hometown closed early, and the train frequency between the two places is also very limited. It is recommended that if you take a train to and from, you can first check the frequency to confirm the time you can play in the two places, and then Consider purchasing.

The preservation of the buildings and the accessibility of the rooms was amazing with fantastic views of the whole site and surrounding countryside wonderful.

This is good quality for your money if you plan to go to a load of different attractions

The app on my phone was tricky to navigate, was a little hard to work

I enjoyed the variety of things there were to do on the pass
