| Page Views: 5,033 Last Visit to Stratford-upon-Avon: July, 1999 | Birthplace of William Shakespeare by jo104 - last update: Aug 12, 2005 |
Set in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside on the banks of the river Avon is this pretty town famous for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare.
Unfortunately I visited Stratford-upon-Avon shortly after arriving in the UK & have decided a return trip is on the cards.
This picture is taken inBancroft Gardens & is known as the Gower memorial completed in 1888 & moved to this spot in 1933. The statue is surrounded by 4 other statues of Shakespheare characters. |

It is my understanding that you can rent canal boats for journeys along the river. |

Jo, I was in Stradford upon Avon for a daytrip in 1987 and I must admit that I don't remember much. I am looking forward to meeting you on Sunday. :-) | angiebabe Thu Jul 12, 2007 15:41 UTC
