As a bookworm and literary lover I have always wanted to go to Shakespeare's Birthplace and I am very glad I did. The whole experience was simply spectacular. I even got to see live Shakespeare performed by a brilliant actor!

Nestled in a small town of Stratford-upon-Avon a Shakespeare's birthplace. There is a museum at this place with Video and History. For Indian traveler a surprise to see Rabindranath Tagore's statue.
