Stratford-upon-Avon is England as you like it, a Shakespearean study in half-timbered black and white.

Shakespeare's 'sweet Avon' runs through Stratford as it has always done, giving the place much of its character. Shakespeare himself supplies the rest of course, for Stratford-upon-Avon is inextricably linked with the bard. Don't dismiss his influence which has surely helped preserve its many half-timbered Tudor buildings. Whatever the month, whatever the season, there is always a buzz about Stratford with its multitude of music festivals, theatres and pubs, packed to the rafters with in and out of work actors.
