The Legend

Guy of Warwick rose from cupbearer to hero, slaying the Dun Cow of Dunsmore and, in single combat before the walls of Winchester, the Danish giant Colbrand — sparing England a war. He returned home in secret, lived out his days as a hermit in a cave upon these cliffs, and revealed himself to his beloved Felice only as he lay dying.

The Guy of Warwick Society exists to research and celebrate this story — and to see Guy take his place beside Robin Hood and King Arthur among England's great legends. We work for the restoration of Guys Cliffe itself, the real place at the heart of the tale.
