Today we took a tour bus around Stratford-upon-Avon. It was a hop on hop off tour so we could get off at any of its 11 stops and get the next one to continue on. We were at the visitor center by 9:30 AM so as to get on the first bus. As we had already visited Shakespeare’s birthplace we stopped first at Nash’s house. Thomas Nash was the first husband of Shakespeare’s grand daughter.
Our next stop was at Trinity Church. Trinity is a glorious church whether you are looking at it from outside
or from the inside
Our last hop off was at Mary Arden’s farm. Mary Arden was Shakespeare’s mother and this farm belonged to her parents. This is a wonderfully kept Tudor period farm. We spent quite a bit of time here.
We arrived back at the visitor center at 4:30, walked back to the hotel and had supper. A thoroughly satisfactory day.
