Famous around the world as the birthplace of the playwright William Shakespeare, this delightful and vibrant riverside town is the setting for a walk that explores the life and times of William Shakespeare and his family. 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. We walk to the village of Shottery- a distance of 1 mile from Stratford upon Avon town, where we visit Anne Hathaway's cottage - the childhood home of William's wife.
Meet at the agreed time and place. Walk to and visit Shakespeare's Birthplace, We cross the ancient footbridge that he would have known on his journeys to and from London.
