Get a taste of Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon
Lovers of the English language looking to mix their passion with a short break may well wish to head for Stratford-upon-Avon as the town is home to perhaps the greatest-ever writer.

The place where William Shakespeare lived, wrote and died, the picturesque town features a variety of attractions dedicated to the famous bard.

For example, visitors will be able to visit the house on Henley Street where the man, who penned classic plays such as Macbeth and Hamlet, was born, which offers the chance to get a glimpse into the young life of Shakespeare.

There will also be the chance to stop by Hall's Croft - the residence of his daughter Susanna - and Anne Hathaway's Cottage - the family home of the bard's wife.

Meanwhile, a visit to Stratford-upon-Avon would not be complete without taking in a performance of one of the writer's many plays at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, located on the banks of the River Avon.

Other astounding tourist attractions located in the town include the Stratford Butterfly Farm which features hundreds of different species of the animal from across the world.
