Day 75: Redditch to Chester

The hotel wasn’t great but we had clean sheets a great sleep on a comfy bed and a hot shower. All good here. We started bolting down the freeway to Manchester before remembering we were supposed to do our Shakespeare visit to Stratford upon Avon. 15mile turnaround and we were in the quaintest little town ever. We visited Shakespeare’s birthplace; new house; and Ann Hathaways (Mrs. Shakespeare) house. Everyone was so damn friendly. There was a presenter in each room and Peter and Andrew were particularly excellent in educating us on all things Shakespeare and answering our questions. We also popped to the other Shakespeare sites, the Guild church and Holy Trinity. We tried to see Warwick castle but ran out of time as we had booked a house for the next two nights near Liverpool. On arrival it was like I was in the movie the holiday. We raced to the Ploughman but it wasn’t doing meals so ended up at the Ring O’Bells. The pubs here are bloody awesome and the hospitality brilliant.もっと詳しく
