Portrait Photography
Warwickshire — Shakespeare's county — has a concentration of historic portrait settings that few English shires can match. Charlecote Park (National Trust) near Stratford-upon-Avon combines Tudor manor architecture, deer-park lawns, and River Avon meadows in a single magnificent estate setting. Kenilworth Castle (English Heritage) — England's largest ruined castle, associated with Robert Dudley and Elizabeth I — gives dramatic red sandstone architecture above open parkland. Warwick Castle above the River Avon offers medieval fortress grandeur with riverside lawns and woodland walks.
Compton Verney — an art gallery set in 120 acres of Capability Brown parkland near Wellesbourne — provides a more intimate, quietly beautiful park setting. Ragley Hall near Alcester adds another stately option. I cover Warwick, Leamington Spa, Coventry, Stratford-upon-Avon, Rugby, Kenilworth, Nuneaton, and all of Warwickshire.
