Just over a mile from the lovely market town of Stratford-upon-Avon, the mediaeval village of Shottery enjoys a tranquil location in the rolling hills of Warwickshire. This charming area, known for being the birthplace of Anne Hathaway, is home to numerous black and white thatched houses and a pleasant inn that serves delectable meals and excellent ales. Shakespeare’s Stratford, with its renowned theatre, spectacular architecture, charming shops and pubs, and delightful riverbank walks, is easily accessible, while the surrounding mediaeval castles of Kenilworth and Warwick should not be missed. See the magnificent National Trust residence at Charlecote Park, which features a Capability Brown Deer Park, beautiful gardens, and an intriguing maze.
