Stratford upon Avon

We are camping beside the Avon River tonight. Its a working farm with a field for visitors to enjoy the serenity. Swans and ducks seem to enjoy the company!
We visited the Hathaway family home which was occupied by them for 500 years. History tells us this is where William Shakespeare courted Anne Hathaway when he was 18 snd she was 26. The surrounding gardens and Woodlnd were a great place for an afternoon stroll.
The cruise down the river on a canal boat took us past Shakespeare's grave. He died at the age of 52.
We have enjoyed stepping back in time and hearing the history in this beautiful spot.Read more
