Discovering Shakespeare in Stratford-Upon-Avon, Stratford-upon-Avon, England

For many visitors聽Stratford-upon-Avon is best known for its association with William Shakespeare, England鈥檚 most famous dramatist. There is certainly no shortage of places to find Shakespeare in Stratford, from the houses where he was born, lived and died, to the roads and buildings that he would have frequented. But the references are not all historic: his legacy is still very much alive today.

Three of the most important heritage sites are managed by the聽Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. These trace the playwright鈥檚 life from the house in which he grew up (the Birthplace), to his final home (Shakespeare鈥檚 New Place).
