The Central England / Cotswolds / Warwickshire region
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 beautiful 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 beautiful historic buildings/museums.
The Cotwold Hills with their mellow yellow stone cottages and beautiful gardens are a treat to explore by car or bus. The river Windrush gently flows through the streets of Bourton-on-the-Water & Lower Slaughter . Explore the lovely shops in Stow-on-the-Wold.Or travel over Cleeve Hill into Cheltenham with wonderful shops, regency buildings and parks. Oxford is famous for its Colleges and churches.
