Shakespeare Country
Shakespeare Country is a magical blend of heritage and drama in and around Shakespeare’s home town of Stratford-upon-Avon. Visit five houses associated with William Shakespeare including Shakespeare’s Birthplace and Anne Hathaway’s Cottage. See his simple grave in the beautiful parish church of Holy Trinity. These, and other attractions can all be explored via hop-on, hop-off sightseeing buses.
In Stratford, enjoy a performance by the world’s leading classical theatre company, the Royal Shakespeare Company. Experience the RSC’s spectacular 1030 seat Courtyard Theatre, specifically designed as a prototype for the thrust-stage auditorium which the new Royal Shakespeare Theatre will house.
Not far from Stratford, enjoy Britain’s greatest medieval experience at Warwick Castle. From the grim dungeon to the towers and ramparts and from preparations for battle to the summer medieval festival, Warwick Castle is no ordinary day out! Nearby, the romantic ruins of Kenilworth Castle house a fascinating history of grandeur and glory, royalty and romance.
Discover some of Britain’s most glorious gardens and magnificent stately homes and explore a wealth of heritage and attractions in Royal Leamington Spa with its Royal Pump Rooms and Jephson Gardens, Kenilworth with its glorious history and ‘historic’ Warwick with its year-long calendar of events and festivals.
