Stratford Uncovered

Stradford-upon-avon is one of England's nicest towns and is best known as the birthplace and home of William Shakespeare. It's a popular tourist destination, especially in summer. Stratford is small enough to explore in one day, yet there is enough here to make it a must see place for any visitor to England
Banks of the Avon

Ye Olde World of Stratford

“What birthplace here! And relics there,
Abuse from each! Ye browling blouses!
Each picks my pocket, tis not fair,
A strangers curse on both your houses.”
I've been twice to Stratford and my most recent trip was in November 2002 for a weekend getaway. We did all the touristy stuff and went to 'The Winter's Tale' at the RSC.
