Stratford-upon-Avon
After breakfast, spend your morning admiring picture-book cottages and villages on your way to Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare. This lovely city offers the perfect combination for a relaxed afternoon. You can learn about the writer's life starting with a visit to his Birthplace House and New Place. Then enjoy a walk around town, by the river Avon, to see what inspired his greatest works.
In the afternoon visit Mary Arden's Tudor Farm, home of Shakespeare’s mother, and experience the sights, sounds and smells of a working Tudor farm. Meet the animals, talk to the Tudors, explore the woods and try Tudor food.
