    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.

    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.
