All about Stratford-upon-Avon

Situated on the picturesque River Avon in the West Midlands in the heart of England, Stratford-upon-Avon is a town of legacy and creativity with more than 800 years of history to explore. Birthplace of one of the world’s most celebrated playwrights, Stratford draws visitors worldwide to its many attractions, including Shakespeare’s Birthplace.

Once a medieval market town drawing traders from surrounding areas, Stratford is still known for thriving independent stores and traditional shopfronts and signs. Rows of black-and-white timbered Tudor buildings set along cobbled streets add to the traditional English feel of the town. Some local buildings date back to the 16th century, reminiscent of a place that the Bard himself would have known. Today, Stratford-upon-Avon is lively with plenty of enthusiasm for its most famous resident and his works. With a strong local theatre and drama scene, there is always a performance to catch while in town.

You’ll also find plenty of bars, restaurants, and riverside businesses to enjoy. The ancient Saxon town of Warwick, which has one of the most intact and impressive surviving medieval castles in the world, is only a 20-minute drive away.

What are the top things to do in Stratford-upon-Avon?

Shakespeare’s Birthplace

Mechanical Art and Design Museum

Canal Basin

The Stratford-upon-Avon Canal connects the town to the Grand Union Canal, which reaches the Thames west of London.
