Stratford-Upon-Avon Flights & Travel Guide

Such stuff as dreams are made on… are found in Stratford Upon Avon, the remote country town along the River Avon and most commonly known as the birthplace of William Shakespeare. This quaint English village is cast aside for travelers needing a bit of refuge from the modern world. Visit Shakespeare’s home, Mary Arden’s house, and Anne Hathaway’s cottage. Take a walk through the school that Shakespeare attended and try your hand at penning a sonnet before heading back to the resort for a quiet dinner in the countryside. There are no direct flights to Stratford Upon Avon but travelers visiting the English countryside can access the resort village via car, train or bus.  No matter what your reasons for visiting Stratford Upon Avon, parting for any guest is such sweet sorrow.
