We have a work location not far from Stratford and I have had a couple of times when I stayed the night in the town. Stratford is a very picturesque location, and the Shakespeare connection makes it a very popular tourist destination. This can make hotels a bit pricy! One of the stays was in the summer so it didn’t get dark until late. That allowed me plenty of time to wander along the river on one side and then back up the other.

The river itself is a nice place to be and then the town centre has a selection of buildings that go back to Tudor times. These have taken on all sorts of shapes as they have settled over the years. One was a nice pub that I stopped in for something to eat. The plan is to return for a personal visit at some point so I can have a more leisurely time to check the place out and Nancy can see it again. She was last there in the late 90s!
