You can also experience a leisurely boat ride or a traditional punt down the river, offering a unique perspective of the town's natural beauty.


Stratford-upon-Avon is also a foodie's paradise, with plenty of restaurants, cafes, and traditional pubs to choose from. Stop in at Hathaway Tea Rooms for a traditional English cream tea or head to The Dirty Duck, a pub frequented by the Royal Shakespeare Company actors over the years.
