Visit the bard's childhood home, enjoy a play at the famous Royal Shakespeare Company, and see his gravesite all in the same day. With its quaint cottages, romantic gardens, and peaceful boat rides, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Be sure to stop for a brew and a bite at the Old Thatch Tavern, the oldest pub in town.
