Stratford-upon-Avon
is a small, pretty town on the banks of the River Avon, famous
worldwide for being the home to one of the most important playwrights
of the English language, William Shakespeare. Warwick
is famous for its castle which has been an important fixture in
British history for over 800 years, witness to battle, intrigue,
power and the excesses of the aristocracy. The Castle has been
transformed to show a Britain of 700, 300 and 100 years ago.

Plan
for the day
|
First,
we head for Warwick to visit its wonderful castle. Permanent exhibits
include mediaeval armoury and equipment for torture in the dungeon.
Alternatively, climb to the top of the castle walls for fabulous
views over Warwick and the River Avon below, or wander in the beautiful
castle grounds. Visits in the summer months may coincide with festivals
of falconry or jousting, but whatever time of year you visit, there
is much to see and do. Afterwards we head for Stratford. Visit the
birthplace museum or join your Roots driver-guide for an informal
guided walk of the town which includes a visit to Shakespeare's
grave in Holy Trinity Church. You will have free time to explore
the rest of Stratford, including the Royal Shakespeare Company Theatre,
before returning to Cambridge in the early evening. |
