Stratford-upon-Avon Shakespeare birthplace
Stratford-upon-Avon β€” The Home of Shakespeare

Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire is one of England's most visited towns β€” the birthplace of William Shakespeare (1564–1616) and home to the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), which performs year-round at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and Swan Theatre on the banks of the River Avon. Located approximately 100 miles from central London via the M40/A46, the journey takes around 1 hour 40 minutes.

The Shakespeare Heritage Trail
  • Shakespeare's Birthplace
    Henley Street, Stratford CV37 6QW. The half-timbered house where Shakespeare was born in 1564. Allow 1 hour.
  • Anne Hathaway's Cottage
    Cottage Lane, Shottery β€” 1 mile from town. The childhood home of Shakespeare's wife. A beautifully preserved thatched farmhouse.
  • Holy Trinity Church
    The church where Shakespeare was baptised and buried. His grave and memorial bust are here β€” a place of genuine pilgrimage for Shakespeare admirers.
  • Royal Shakespeare Theatre
    On the River Avon β€” even if not attending a performance, the tower viewing platform offers excellent views. RSC performances are bookable in advance.
Combining with the Cotswolds

Stratford-upon-Avon is perfectly positioned for combination with the northern Cotswolds β€” Chipping Campden is just 12 miles from Stratford via the B4632. A Stratford morning followed by a Cotswolds village afternoon is one of our most popular combinations for visitors from the USA and Australia who want to see the quintessential English countryside and literary heritage in a single day.
