 Stratford
upon Avon
|
|
| Stratford
upon Avon, birth place of William Shakespeare, and probably
the most visited place in Warwickshire.
The town centre has a modern shopping precinct with most
chain stores and the old timbered buildings mingle in. It's
a case of Shakespeare here, Shakespeare there, Shakespeare
everywhere, as the town takes advantage of the connection.
Quite a few gift shops.
It gets VERY busy, so come early to beat the rush. The major
Shakespeare related houses are owned by the Shakespeare Trust
and you can buy a joint ticket.
There are pleasant gardens along the River Avon and the Avon
canal, you take a short river boat trip from here, and the
restored buildings near the lock has a restaurant and pub
complex..
Parking can get difficult in Stratford upon Avon, so try
the multi- storey carpark, with a good view from the top.
The Tourist Information centre is on the main road by the
gardens, and a commentary tour bus operates in the town..
Along from the gardens is Southern Lane with different old
cast-iron lightposts from different towns in England.
Horse racing course.
Things to do and see out and about the town as well.
