What's included in Private Full-Day Tour of Shakespeare's Stratford-Upon-Avon
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Shakespeare's Birthplace
Upon arrival in Stratford upon Avon, your tour will start with Shakespeare's birthplace and Stratford visitor centre exhibition, the top attraction for Stratford day visitors. This semi-woody Henley Street building with a large rear floor was probably acquired on two levels in 1556 and 1575 by Shakespeare's father John. It is decorated with many historical manuscripts and books in antique style. There is sometimes a performance in the outdoor celebration garden.
Shakespeare's New Place
Our next stop will be Shakespeare's New Place. From 1597 to his death in 1616, New Place was Shakespeare's home. Shakespeare retired after completing his work. The New House survived after Shakespeare's death until its demolition in 1759. Picturesque garden space is where Shakespeare's original home was next door. The amazing Elizabethan Knot garden, created between 1919- 1920, has been based on images from Shakespeare's garden books and contains, to the extent possible, plants which Shakespeare had known. When Shakespeare bought New Place he was an established playwright and it is believed that he wrote his later plays there, including The Tempest.
Hall's Croft
Time to proceed to Hall’s Croft. The eldest daughter of Shakespeare, Susanna, was living with her husband, Dr Hall, in the Croft Hall. There is an exhibition about Dr Hall and his time's medicine and there is time to explore the house and gardens. In the building, there are excellent furnishings and paintings from the sixteenth and 17th centuries.
