Blenheim Palace

Shakespeare Birth Place

Stratford-upon-Avon is forever synonymous with history and culture. A medieval market town in England’s West Midlands, is the 16th-century birthplace of William Shakespeare. Possibly the most famous writer in the English language, Shakespeare is known for his sonnets and plays such as 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'Hamlet'. The Royal Shakespeare Company performs his plays in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and adjacent Swan Theatre on the banks of the River Avon. 

Other places of interest are

Anne Hathaway’s cottage

This is real-life ‘Shakespeare in Love’. Originally a farmhouse, this was the site where Wills courted Anne, who would later become Mrs Shakespeare. The pretty cottage has its original furniture and features, and the romantic gardens are the stuff sonnets are made of.

Stratford-upon-Avon Butterfly Farm.

The UK’s largest tropical butterfly attraction is an ideal rainy-day activity.
