Famous around the world as the birthplace of the playwright William Shakespeare, this delightful and vibrant riverside town is the setting for our morning walk exploring the life and times of William, his family, friends, and associates. From the birthplace, we take a gentle stroll beside the river and through the streets that were familiar to William Shakespeare. Along the way we see where he went to school, the site of the house that he retired to on his return from London - and his final resting place in the Parish Church. From here we drive to the outlying villages of Shottery to visit Anne Hathaway's Cottage (childhood home of William's mother and Wilmcote where we stop to view the outside of Mary Arden's Farmhouse (childhood home of William's mother).
