This
template for a private day tour from London to Shakespeare's Stratford
Upon Avon provides convenience and a very flexible way of seeing
the best the town has to offer.
Most coach tours will just give you time to go around Shakespeare's
Birthplace and perhaps a photo stop at Anne Hathaway's Cottage.
Public transport from London can be cumbersome and the places relating
to Shakespeare are spread out over a wide area.

Starting
Out / Logistics
Stratford Upon Avon is about 2 hours drive from Central
London. So travelling is going to take a good chunk of your day. Your
choice is really whether to spend all your time in Stratford or combine
it with somewhere else. Perhaps Blenheim Palace or Warwick Castle
Shakespeare's Stratford Upon Avon
The 'must see' is Shakespeare's Birthplace in the middle of town.
On the far side of the town centre is Holy Trinity Church where Shakespeare
is buried.
The town itself is also a nice place to loiter with some olde worlde
charm and a very nice riverside with extensive parkland and always
something going on.
A mile or two from the town centre is Anne Hathaway's Cottage and
further out is Shakespeare's mother's house, Mary Arden.
Warwick Castle
Warwick
Castle is only about 30 minutes from Stratford. An impressive medieval
stronghold, the classic castle. Warwick Castle is owned by the same
people who run Madame Tussauds, so the entertainment factor is more
prominent than many other more staid castles, particularly attractive
for children. |
Oxford,
Blenheim and the Cotswolds
Oxford with
its cloistered colleges and secluded gardens, Blenheim Palace, birthplace
of Sir Winston Churchill, the picturesque Cotswolds with gentle hills, delightful
villages and thatched cottages of mellowed local stone.
