Overview
------------
Stratford is a great place to visit with lots to see and do. It has a wealth of charm and history.

Accommodation
-------------------
Lots of B&Bs, hotels and Campsites to suit all budgets. We stayed at the Charlecote Pheasent Hotel just outside Stratford - at £130 for 1 night dinner, bed and breakfast it wasnt cheap but worth it once in a while.

Attractions in Stratford
-----------------------------
The obvious - Shakesperes Houses, Ann Hathaways cottage etc - pay for all 5 houses at the same time and recieve a discount.
Open top bus - travels to all tourist attractions - day tickets available at around £7.
Shakesperes resting place - the church is a great place to walk to and visit - it sits right next to the river Avon and for £1.50 you can see shakesperes grave. It is only a short walk from the town centre.
The Shakespere theatre sits along side the river and is currently being renovated. You can see a range of Shakesperes plays here.
The town centre has some good shops and lovely tea rooms/pubs - well worth a visit
