STRATFORD-ON-AVON







This was a
visit to
Stratford,
On April 8th.








Stratford-on-Avon is a very busy town and attracts tourists from all over the World.
It had been my first visit there in over 15 years!.....though its only an Hour away from where I live. So it was time I re-paid it a visit. I was also lucky with the weather that day.
You can get a ticket to visit all of Shakespeares Houses, which is maybe a good Idea, as it saves money, rather than buy Individual house tickets. A Tourist Sightseeing bus service is also an Ideal way to see Stratford and learn some of it's history too. It also Includes a visit to see Anne Hathaways Cottage, in the village of Shottery. Well worth seeing.
Then the River Avon is a relaxing place, with its Boat trips up the River , or just to sit and watch the World go by. The town has many Black & White buildings and many Interesting shops too.
So it was a worthwhile visit and I got my share of decent photo's as well.
Only Ten minutes away is the Historic town of Warwick....also well worth seeing!
Stratford is also famous for its Royal Shakespeare Theatre & Productions.
The Oldest Inn In Stratford is the Garrick Inn .
