Stratford upon Avon is a beautiful town located near the River Avon. This area is famous as it is the birthplace of William Shakespeare, a legendary English poet. It's unsurprising that this town is nicknamed Shakespeare's City, where you can find several historical sites related to the artist.

Shakespeare's family home has become a tourist attraction due to its neat arrangement of mostly antique objects. Meanwhile, to see the house of Shakespeare's wife before they were married, you can visit Anne Hathaway's Cottage, which has original furnishings and a beautiful garden.

Many tourists also visit Shakespeare's grave at the Holy Trinity Church, which features a bust of Shakespeare holding a quill. After visiting the grave, you can stop by the church garden which borders the Avon River and is home to several tourist boats. A bridge over the river connects the park to the boathouse, hotel, and butterfly farm.

You can also cruise along the beautiful river using a classic double-chain ferry that is steered manually by hand. In addition, visit other interesting places, including a rum distillery with its unique method. If you have limited time, you can enjoy local food at the Riverside Cafe or Rooftop Restaurant.
