A Shakespeare day today. Our travels have brought us to Gloucester, and we drove here via Stratford-on-Avon and through the Cotswolds.
The first stop was at Anne Hathaway's Cottage, and as good luck would have it the sun came out, and the cottage and it's grounds looked very pretty.
From here, we went into the town centre, and had a bit of a walk around. Only one short shower, so it was a pleasant few hours generally! Fairly obvious where most of the businesses found the inspiration for their business names, with the names of Shakespearian characters and famous actors abounding on the shop fronts!
We went to Shakespeare's birthplace and looked through the house in which he was born and lived with his family. The house is only a few metres from the Stratford Public Library also!!!
After visiting Shakespeare's birthplace, we went for a walk along the River Avon which brought us to Holy Trinity Church, in which both Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway are buried.
Then it was a drive through the Cotswolds; we stopped briefly at Bourton-on-the-Water, which is a pretty little town, on the way through.
