No visit to Stratford-upon-Avon is complete without a trip to Shakespeare's Birthplace. This beautifully preserved 16th-century house is where the world-renowned playwright William Shakespeare was born and spent his early years. Our guided tour provides fascinating insights into Shakespeare's family life and the environment that inspired his timeless works.
Next on our tour is Anne Hathaway's Cottage, the charming thatched farmhouse where Shakespeare's wife, Anne Hathaway, grew up. Nestled in the idyllic village of Shottery, just a short distance from the town center, this cottage is surrounded by stunning gardens and orchards. Our knowledgeable guides will share stories of the young couple's courtship and the history of the Hathaway family.
