The Birthplace of William Shakespeare

“Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?”

Whether you can recite the entire soliloquy or you’re more accustomed to the movie versions, everyone has heard of the tragic love story, Romeo and Juliet. And no doubt its author too, the prodigy of playwrighting himself, William Shakespeare.

But how did Shakespeare’s story begin?

It started and ended in the medieval market town of Stratford-upon-Avon. So this place is packed full of juicy information about the life and work of the Bard of Avon.

Yet, you don’t have to be a Shakespearean aficionado to enjoy a trip to Stratford-upon-Avon. Discover what life was like in Elizabethan England and drink in the charm of the Tudor cottages.

Perhaps you’ll even be inspired to pen a verse or two yourself.
