Stratford-upon-Avon is a small market town in central England not far from Birmingham and within a day’s travel of London. It is over 1000 years old, initially settled by the Anglo-Saxons, but it is most famous as the birthplace of British playwright William Shakespeare. It is consequently a delight for those with an interest in theater or literature as it is home to the Royal Shakespeare Company and Stratford’s Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
