town rich both in history and in culture. Stratford is a busy market town with a population of twenty – three thousand, and contains

many streets and buildings unchanged since medieval times. It is surrounded by some of the prettiest countryside in England, and is

Without doubt, Stratford is best – known as the town where the playwright William Shakespeare ( 1564 – 1616 ) was
born and died. Here you can visit his birthplace, and other buildings associated with his family. These houses are splendid
examples of Tudor architecture and there are many other fine, historic buildings well worth visiting in the town.
Visitors to Stratford will find no lack of evening entertainment. There are restaurants to suit all tastes, and in the evening
the Royal Shakespeare Theatre offers an exciting and varied repertoire, giving you the chance to see some of the best
actors in the country, on stage. There are also poetry readings, music recitals and many other entertainments available.
