Discover Shakespeare's world through guided walks around his hometown Stratford-upon-Avon. On the Stratford Town Walk you'll get to see timber-framed buildings and stop off at the Shakespeare Houses, Grammar School, Royal Shakespeare Theatres and Holy Trinity Church.

Local professional guides recount historic tales of fires, the plague, medieval cures, old-fashioned sayings and history of the town. Walks start from Waterside, opposite Sheep Street, near the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and last for approximately two hours. There's no need to book - just turn up!
