STRATFORD UPON AVON
Stratford Upon Avon is rich in culture and history and is at the centre of Shakespeare Country. Being one of the most popular tourist attraction outside London, you will find no fewer than 5 museums linked to Shakespeare. The main museum is Shakespeare's Birthplace, filled with Shakespeare memorabilia, including a portrait and furnishings of the writer's time. The property is a half-timbered structure, dating from the early 16th century. There are two other properties in town ~ New Place and Hall Croft. You can also visit Shakespeare's grave at the Holy Trinity Church. Outside Stratford is Anne Hathaway's Cottage and Mary Arden's Farm. You can take a Guide Friday tour, which is a hop on/off service that will take you past all 5 houses. Walking tours are also very popular. Visit the Stratford Butterfly Farm or take time to stroll along the River Avon, hire a boat or relax on a river cruise. Stratford town is beautiful with an abundance of traditional black and white timber framed buildings, many containing a wide variety of shops, restaurants and tearooms.
WARWICK CASTLE
Warwick Castle is over a thousand years old and is considered the finest medieval fort in England positioned by the side of the River Avon. The castle was built on the orders of William the Conqueror in 1068 as part of a defensive chain of castles established to maintain power in his new territories. The castle has been well maintained and contains various exibitions and many attractions, from dungeons to the Royal Weekend Party of 1898. Marvel at the grandeur of the State Rooms and Great Hall. Visit the King Maker exhibition, a display related to the War of the Roses and climb some of the magnificent towers to view surrounding countryside. You can check out the armour collected over the centuries; feel the weight of a sword and see just how soldiers lived and died on the battlefield.
You can also take advantage of a TRACKS SPECIAL DEAL for a cheaper group entrance fee into the castle.
