    TOURIST ATTRACTIONS OF STRATFORD UPON AVON:

    The town is located on the River Avon, on the banks of which stands the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, home of the Royal Shakespeare Company. The RSC also runs two smaller theatres, the Swan, which is modelled on an Elizabethan theatre, and The Other Place, a black box theatre.

    Other tourist attractions within the town include Shakespeare's birthplace and two contemporary buildings, Hall's Croft (the one-time home of Shakespeare's daughter, Susannah) and New Place, which stands on the site of an earlier house originally owned by the playwright himself. Also within the town is Holy Trinity Church, where Shakespeare was baptised and is buried.

    Near to the town are two other properties associated with Shakespeare: Anne Hathaway's Cottage at Shottery, the former home of Shakespeare's wife, and Mary Arden's House, the former home of his mother.

    Non-Shakespearean attractions include a Teddy Bear Museum, a Butterfly Farm, the Bancroft Gardens, and The Black Swan (locally known as the 'Dirty Duck'), a pub said to be frequented by actors 'fresh from the stage'.

    Eight miles away is Ragley Hall, one of England's finest stately homes and home to the Jerwood Sculpture Park.


    TRAVEL TO STRATFORD UPON AVON:

    Stratford is close to the UK's second largest city, Birmingham, and is easily accessible from junction 15 of the M40 motorway.

    The town has good rail links from Birmingham (Snow Hill station, Moor Street station) and from London, with up to seven direct trains a day from London Marylebone.

    The town has a new cycle-path, and is on the canal network.


    ANNE HATHAWAY'S COTTAGE:

    Anne Hathaway's cottage was the home of William Shakespeare's wife. A cottage given that name is located in the village of Shottery, just to the west of Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, and is a major tourist attraction for that town. This cottage is said to be the same cottage in which Anne Hathaway lived, but documentary evidence is lacking. It is, nonetheless, very beautiful.
