Gorgeous Tudor houses and other Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom General Tips

Favorite Thing: The streets of Stratford-upon-Avon abound in gorgeous Tudor half-timbered houses. The timber patterns on them are not always made up of straight lines, the most interesting ones have curves and form complicated designs. The house next to Harvard House is one of them, it is now the Garrick Inn, named so after one of the best known Shakespearian actors. To its left is the beautiful ornate house with Pizza Hut on the ground floor. I wish all Pizza Huts looked like this. In the other picture you can see the Shakespeare Hostelrie, also timber-framed and forming a long line of gables. Don't be misled by their sign to think it's a hostel, 'hostelrie' is an archaic or humorous word for an inn or pub, and the place is simply a hotel.
