\u201cThe world\u2019s mine oyster\u201d<\/strong> – The words of the bard are never truer, THE world is your oyster and travelling you will go. If your adventuring soul brings you to Stratford Upon Avon, then be sure to say thanks to the bard. You\u2019re in the birthplace of William Shakespeare, immerse yourself and explore this most pretty of Tudor towns.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spend a day here or mini break is all you need to enjoy this quaint but busy town. Walk the streets and you\u2019ll find a mix of the usual high street brands, independent stores, or should that be treasure troves, selling goods irresistible to your pocket! (I\u2019ve warned you), small tearooms and of course Shakespeare themed attractions (more on those soon). Dodge the crowds and you\u2019ll find that Stratford is a welcoming enjoyable place to explore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talk of the Bard<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Shakespeares<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not inconceivable that the primary reason you\u2019re visiting here is to see all things Shakespeare. You\u2019ve got his birthplace to discover, his grave to find (it\u2019s at Holy Trinity church). Don\u2019t get upset, it\u2019s not as grand as you\u2019d imagine. There\u2019s Shakespeare\u2019s centre, Anne Hathaway\u2019s cottage and if you can the opportunity to watch a play at the Royal Shakespeare theatre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s also an observation tower, which for a few pennies gives you a fantastic view of Shakespeare\u2019s country. Rolling green hills and fields, highlighting the beauty of the local landscape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a little extra top tip. Outside the theatre is a fun game you can play. It\u2019s a walk around some of Shakespeare\u2019s plays, you must decide which direction you want to head in! It\u2019s painted on the concrete and worth a few fun minutes of your time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

More than just Shakespeare<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"View<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve had your Shakespeare fix, Stratford has plenty more to keep you occupied. A walk along the River Avon on a summer\u2019s afternoon is glorious. You can also take a boat cruise if you\u2019d prefer. Sit and enjoy an ice-cream as the buskers play their tunes or enjoy a drink at one of the many pubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You also have Market square to explore and the American fountain to discover. Enjoy an afternoon tea, well, it\u2019s such a tradition. And with your surroundings, it just feels like the right thing to do in Shakespeare\u2019s town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beautiful Cotswolds are also on Stratford\u2019s doorstep, as is the historic city of Warwick. So if you\u2019re looking for a change of scenery then these are great options. There aren\u2019t many places in the UK more beautiful than the Cotswolds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stratford Upon Avon is one of those places that you have to visit on your UK travels. Exploring the second-hand shops or watching a sonnet or play, this town is joyous to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just leave that sword at home! Those customs people won\u2019t like that! Perhaps pack a  pencil to jot your thoughts down, much better.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
