At Shakespeare's Birthplace Museum you will see costumed guides who will tell you tales of Shakespeare's family life, as well as the exhibition with artwork and memorabilia of the greatest writer in the English language.
Stratford is a charming market town set in the heart of rural England. A delightful river winds its way through the town, past the beautiful Holy Trinity Church, where Shakespeare lies buried. There are some wonderful half-wooden buildings that date back to Shakespeare's time.
