Make your own way to our hotel in Stratford-upon-Avon, where you’ll meet an experienced Tour Manager and enjoy dinner and a relaxing evening.

This morning, we include a walking tour of Stratford-upon-Avon in the company of a local Blue Badge Guide. We will explore this medieval market town steeped in culture and history, with the influence of William Shakespeare all around. Born here in 1564 in a half-timbered house on Henley Street, the town is the birthplace of the playwright.

After the tour, there is time to explore further before we board the coach and head to Warwick Castle for an afternoon visit. The castle was developed from a wooden fort, originally built by William the Conqueror in 1068, which went on to be transformed from a fortress to a stately home. It now has over 1,000 years of history to immerse yourself in. Inside, you can explore the Great Hall and state rooms, and outside there is 64 acres of beautiful grounds and gardens, including the Peacock Garden with its sculptured topiary and manicured hedges. Why not also take the time to visit one of the cafés on site?

Our coach returns us back to the hotel where we enjoy dinner at the hotel this evening.
