Visit Oxford, majestic Blenheim Palace and the picturesque Cotswolds on your way to historic Stratford-upon-Avon immortalised by William Shakespeare.

Visit Shakespeare’s birthplace where he grew up and played, Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, the idyllic, thatched cottage where William courted his future wife, Holy Trinity Church where both are buried and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.

Time permitting visit one of the other Shakespeare Properties - the houses where Shakespeare's granddaughter and daughter lived or a little outside Stratford, Mary Arden's Farm in the village of Wilmcote where his mother grew up and which remains a working Tudor farm.
