we did not do the whole trail, but we will go back to do it I am sure. All the guides are very knowledgeable and so polite and helpful to everyone.

The week after Xmas ,it was cold and crispy with frost and I followed the trail of Shakespeare's life in a day. It began at the house he was born and grew up in. The story telling in each room was good quality as was the exhibition which accompanied it. I then walked the 1 mile alongs the meadow path he used when courting Anne Hathaway and had a lovely lunch in a restaurant close to Anne's cottage..

We started of at the Shakespeare centre in Stratford where we bought tickets. There are 5 houses to visit on the trail. We bought a family ticket for all 5 houses. Three of the houses are in walking distance of each other. The other two are out of the town centre. There is a bus which can take you to them but be warned there is a charge. We visited the first three by foot and drove to the other two by car. There is ample parking at both of these. It is a great tour. My favourites were Shakespeare's birth place, Anne Hatherway's house and gardens and Mary Arden's Farm. Well worth a visit.…
