Just a short walk and you are in the heart of Shakespeare's town - his home is on High Street - Nash House, the Royal Shakespeare Theatre sits in front of Bancroft Gardens where open air entertainment can be found in the summertime and the Trust and Library are on Henley Street. All the streets in Stratford are inviting and make lovely shopping arenas - gift stores, fashion houses, chocolate shops, antiques, books, arts and crafts - something for everyone.

On Friday's you can enjoy the market on Rother Street and then treat yourself to an afternoon tea in one of the many tea rooms.

Lots of activities and sports are available - angling, boating, bowling, cricket, tennis, horse riding, golfing and even sub aqua diving. Theatre, musical entertainment, plays, jazz and festivals throughout the year. Be sure to take a drive out to the Cotswolds - you can hire a classic car and drive in style. Not too far away is Oxford and discover the beauty of the Vale of Evesham.

A day to Warwick Castle is a must - towers, dungeons, moats, the island and river, mill and engine room, stories of highwaymen and walls strewn with historical artifacts, swords and shields. A wonderland and filled with magic - fabulous for the family.

Steam train rides or river boat trips are a lovely way to view the area. To complete a wonderful day out why not dine in style on a boat on the river down at the Canal Basin - truly romantic.
