The birthplace of one of the greatest playwrights, Stratford-Upon-Avon is perfect for any fan of Shakespeare. Step back in history and learn all about the life Shakespeare led before he travelled to London and began writing his most iconic work. Enjoy a cruise along the River Avon, seeing the sights in style, exploring the infamous waterways of the Industrial Revolution and travelling through the town’s historic working lock. You can also visit Shakespeare’s grave or his wife Anne Hathaway’s house during your stay.
