A larger family unit is located on the left between the male and female toilets.

tables and seating. A TV screen displays a
show-reel of Warwick Castle’s 1100 year history.
Riverside Access – The main path to the
River Island bridge is very steep and can be
difficult for wheelchairs and pushchairs to
navigate. We recommend using the path
closest to the rear of the Mound (between
the picnic benches) as this path is less steep
and easier to navigate.
Pushchairs – Where areas are inaccessible for
pushchairs, they should be left at the
entrance to the attraction.
