The county's administration is centred on the town of Warwick, famous for it's castle, with Leamington Spa, Nuneaton, Rugby and Stratford-upon-Avon, home of Shakespeare, being the other major centres. Warwickshire features such attractions as Warwick and Kenilworth castles, the remains of the 'Forest of Arden', as portrayed by Shakespeare in As You Like It, and the site of the English Civil War battlefield of Edgehill. The most famous son of Warwickshire is, without doubt, William Shakespeare. Origin of name: Anglo-Saxon, meaning "The farm by a river dam". War means an offshoot from a larger farm; Wic is a weir or dam, constructed for catching fish.
