Shakespeare's birthplace, his family homes and the Royal Shakespeare Company beside the Avon
1 / 6Bienvenido a la zona
Stratford-upon-Avon is a market town on the River Avon, about 22 miles south-east of Birmingham and 8 miles south-west of Warwick. William Shakespeare was born here in 1564, was baptised and buried at Holy Trinity Church, and died at his house, New Place, in 1616.
The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust opens the Birthplace on Henley Street, New Place on Chapel Street and Anne Hathaway's Cottage in Shottery. The Royal Shakespeare Company plays in the Royal Shakespeare and Swan theatres on Waterside and in The Other Place on Southern Lane, a short walk from the old streets of the centre.
