Welcome to Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, steeped in culture and history. We have moved from Newcastle!! Now, set in the beautiful rural Warwickshire countryside, on the banks of the river Avon, it is one of the most important and cultured tourist destinations in the UK and the world and with 80,000 plus visitors in 2016. I have returned to these parts of the country after two decades. We hope some of our old students will come and stay as many have returned again and again and we hope all past students parents will come and explore another wonderful region with us steeped in nature, literature, and history. Stratford she has easy rail, road and airport access. The destination for films and theatre, the home of Alan Rickman and Judi Dench. This is where Bond is made and all our greatest writers take inspiration from. Not only our writers but all from around the world take inspiration from Shakespeare’s world. A writer’s paradise, an artist’s palette. There are excellent venues for accommodation and dinners and business conferences, weddings, and christenings and indeed the best schools as well as Shakespeare’s School which students can still go to and the birth church in the heart of Stratford by the Royal Shakespeare Company. Stroll with us through these Stratford lanes, get a taste of Merry England, where olde traditions are still alive, from Morris Dancing to a medieval hunt, master of the hounds, the hauntingly beautiful countryside. Local country sports and theatre RSC on the doorstep! Make your plans with us. Let us take you through the same streets Shakespeare walked and knew so well, let us acquaint you with his hometown, his homes and his school and his birth church and baptism and final resting place. Let’s meander the shire counties of Oxfordshre, Worcestershire and Gloustershire. Enjoy the most beautiful Malvern Hills and hidden gems like Whitbourne in Hereford. Hampton Court Palace, Warwick Castle, Henley In Arden and the breathtaking Cotswold and all within a short drive of Stratford Upon Avon. There is so much to do, theatre, boats on the river, swans , the Ferris wheel, the living statues, the music at the birth church and choirs, the sweet enchanting shops and lanes.
