★ Shakespeare's Country & Surrounds ★

Think of England and Stratford-upon-Avon springs to mind, an area forever linked with William Shakespeare and the Tudors, surrounded by romantic villages with country pubs, 'black and white' wooden architecture, historic houses with beautiful gardens and an inviting patchwork quilt of countryside.

Add some ideas for discovering nearby treasures of the counties of the West Midlands and the experience becomes even more compelling. What to expect? Insider knowledge from an experienced traveller who knows that just the right mix of style, creature comforts, culture and local produce make your visit a rewarding experience you'll want to repeat. Independent travellers, this one's for you!
