Stratford-upon-Avon, is famous primarily as the town where William Shakespeare was born in 1564. The town is a major tourist destination, most of them coming to pay homage to him and, with the five Shakespeare properties that are preserved in and around Stratford-upon-Avon, to get a glimpse of life in 16th century England. But with 800 years of history, art and culture, the Stratford District with its beautiful countryside, bustling market towns, historic mansions and pretty little villages offers many other things to do and see, such as historic castles, theatres, award winning gardens, racing, stunning country and hillside walks, adventure parks, pubs and restaurants, art and antiques.
