Stratford-upon-Avon

Stratford-upon-Avon is a small market town in the middle of beautiful English countryside. It’s near other interesting towns such as Warwick and Kenilworth with their famous castles, and Royal Leamington Spa. Stratford-upon-Avon has many attractions including historic buildings, boating on the River Avon, and walking, and of course it’s also world famous as the home of William Shakespeare.
