The old market town of Stratford-upon-Avon (4.5 miles) , once the home of the great bard William Shakespeare is full of history and culture. The lovely homes of Shakespeare and his family are superb to visit. Each telling their unique story. In Wilmcote, Mary Ardens Farm (Shakespeares mother) has costumed guides demonstrating life in the 16th. cent. Rare farm animals and the thrill of Falconry displays complete the experience. The magic of Shakespears plays are produced nightly in the theatre by the riverside.
Lovely walks are there following the river and canal. Or visit the 15th/17th. century thatched home of Anne Hathaway, set in magnificent gardens and woodland where guides there uniquely tell the story of Romance, wealth & hardship of the Hathaways who lived there almost 400 years.
The County of Warwick is home of the kingmaker, Warwick Castle, Englands finest medieval castle. Experience medieval jousting,or the horror of the dungeons and beautiful gardens to the river. A great day out. The town of Warwick also offers many memorable historic buildings/museums.

We came earlier than expected on the arrival day, but it was no problem to move in. The accommodation got: • A very equipped kitchen, everything you can think about was in it.. • A bathroom with bath and a separate shower in the bedroom. • A private garden, but we could also use the garden of the owners who lives next door. The owners are very kind and helpful. We enjoyed watching al kind of birds who came to visit the private garden. We stayed for 2 weeks and enjoyed every day of it. |
