Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare is steeped in culture and history. Set in the beautiful rural Warwickshire countryside, on the banks of the river Avon, it is one of the most important tourist destinations in the UK and a great choice for a school trip. Combining a visit to the famous Swan Theatre, a modern theatre space based on the design of playhouses in Elizabethan England, with Shakespeare's Birthplace and Holy Trinity Church where he is buried is an experience not to be missed!
