Here, you can explore the Tudor-era timber-framed buildings where the world’s greatest playwright was born and raised. Visit the Shakespeare Birthplace Museum, wander along the River Avon, and soak in the town’s rich Elizabethan charm.

By combining culture, countryside, and literary history, this tour offers a varied and memorable experience — perfect for those who want to see England’s heritage from different perspectives in a single day.
