A guided walking tour of the town where Shakespeare was born and spent his final years. Find out how the thriving market town and the society he was born into influenced his writing and why the Royal Shakespeare Company is based here.
Discover more about Shakespeare's wider family and the countryside that he grew up in as we visit Shottery, now a suburb of Stratford and Wilmcote a small Warwickshire Village. On route find out about the women in Shakespeare's life: Mary Arden, Anne Hathaway and his daughters. For this tour you will need to provide suitable transport.
Although it's virtually impossible to completely ignore Shakespeare in Stratford upon Avon, this tour will focus more on it's growth from Saxon times to the present day. Even without Shakespeare Stratford has much that is of interest, including once being an important inland port on what is now the Bancroft Garden area.
