Take in the atmosphere...
As befits such an historic area, ambience in and around Stratford comes in very large quantities. By day enjoy a performance or talk courtesy of the Royal Shakespeare Company. By night, take to the river on an evening cruise along the Avon - or drink in the heritage with a reception in the beautiful surroundings of Shakespeare's Birthplace gardens. Then banquet like a King at one of England’ greatest medieval castles, the nearby Warwick Castle – complete with jousting.
