On the Tuesday, we went into town and visited our first of the Shakespearean attractions - Shakespeare's Birthplace. INFORMATION Shakespeare's ... Read the complete review

More than 3000 people visit my birthplace every day, and it's been open to visitors since 1836. Being far older and a bit more famous than I am (so far), Shakespeare's birthplace has been open for a good 250 years but still attracts fewer people on a daily basis.

Having heard many good things about Stratford-Upon-Avon but never having been there myself, I took two days out a few weeks ago to check it out myself. I only stayed for the one night, and so didn't get as much time to look around as I would have liked because I spent the second day in Warwick. The one thing I was advised to do, if ...

I visited Shakespeare's Birthplace a few years ago during a schooltrip. As Shakespeare is one of my favourite authors, and I love history, I was excited about visiting the place where he had lived all those centuries ago, and gaining an insight into what life in Tudor times was like. Shakespeare's house is in ... Read the complete review

Shakespeare's Birthplace has been called "Possibly the most famous and most visited literary landmark in Britain" by www.stratford.co.uk.
