Learning about the history and culture of Stratford-upon-Avon is essential, as we've told you before: it's the place to do it, and that's why we recommend two places to learn a little more: the Holy Trinity Church and Compton Verney Art Gallery and Park. In the first one, you will see the tomb of the great playwright William Shakespeare. However, there is much more to appreciate: a magical decoration that will enchant you when you enter with emphasis on some wood carvings at the back of it; one of the things you will recognize most about this church is the good attention of the volunteers to the tourists. The second place, as we have read, is an art museum, the building, the gallery and the gardens are fantastic, it is a valuable hidden gem that tourists must see. The process of getting to know the place is with small groups, therefore the appreciation of the works is individualized, the staff is very patient and friendly, you can also have picnics outside and relax for a moment with your partner and family, amazing!

Upon entering you will be able to see various explanations and presentations of the legacy left by this great playwright, it is a place that will take you back to his time undoubtedly.

Another of the tourist attractions that we are going to recommend is Hall's Croft, this is the Tudor house where Shakespeare's eldest daughter Susanna lived with Dr. John Hall, her husband, it will show you more closely what life was like in the family of this great artist of history.

We have made it clear that one of the biggest tourist attractions that this location in the United Kingdom has is all the life that the Shakespeare family had in the area, that is why we are also going to recommend you to visit Anne Hathaway's cottage. A beautiful thatched cottage, where Hathaway lived before marrying Shakespeare, retains its old world charm and a beautiful garden.

One of the most attractive ways to get to know a place well is its art and culture, in Stratford-upon-Avon you can see its plays which are based on the same works of William Shakespeare, if you have a little time and enjoy a quality and different moment with your partner, then check if there is one that interests you and enjoy a good play.

Stratford is not considered a beautiful town without argument... It really is! We recommend you to stroll through its streets and admire the Tudor style buildings, its historic centre is impressively preserved with 16th century architecture, your pictures will turn out beautiful!

The cafes, bars and restaurants in this British town are remarkable, but Plantarium Café is especially quirky. Many of their cakes are made from plants, plus, they have delicious dishes to offer you: focaccias or sweet potato and peanut butter soups, amazing! They also have an impressive variety of teas and coffees, not to be missed.
