Day 2. Monday After breakfast, we journey to the picturesque town of Stratford-upon-Avon for some free time to explore at your leisure. Nestled along the banks of the River Avon, this enchanting Tudor town is world-famous as the birthplace of William Shakespeare. Rich in history and overflowing with character, it delights visitors with its romantic timber-framed buildings, quaint streets, inviting green spaces, and lively market atmosphere. At the heart of it all lies Shakespeare’s Birthplace – the star attraction where you can walk in the footsteps of the legendary playwright and imagine life in Elizabethan England (entrance not included). Soak up the charm, browse local shops, discover hidden gems, or enjoy a riverside stroll before we depart later this afternoon to begin our journey home.
