What a wonderful culture we have in England ❤️🫡🏴
You can't dream of a more beautiful english place. The village is like a fairy tale décor.
I stayed at Shakespeares' home where he was born for a class field trip. I loved it there

My family came from this place. Both of William's grandmothers were sisters and Webb's , daughters of Sir John Alexander Webb. I wonder if any of my ancestors still live here.
I'm glad soon I'll be living within 30mins away from there can't wait to visit literally halfway between Oxford and Stratford upon avon!

Thanks for this magical tour. At 10:09 you say that Shakespeare died in 1666. That would have made him 102 years old. I think you meant to say 1616 which you did say earlier. My favourite School trip by far was our school trip to Stratford-upon-Avon. It was a Summer's day back in 1979/1980. We had a picnic next to the River Avon and, later that afternoon, took in a Shakespeare play at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. I was really surprised at being able to understand every word of the play (for a change). I haven't been back since but would very much like to.
Today i went on the open top bus in stratford, we had headphones to listen to a documentary about william shakespear, we went to 11 places about william! Its brilliant. Definitely recommend going.

Actually the theatre behind you at 11.06 is the Swan Theatre rather than the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. It is all part of the RSC and was the original theatre before it was destroyed by fire. It was restored in the 1980s
Thank you Very nice place

Great tour, but I have just one question: What's with all the wisteria throughout the town? I am a folklorist of herbs and plants, and I'm curious if there is a reason for it, perhaps even a Shakespearean reference.
