- The following is a through walking tour of Stratford Upon Avon. During this walking tour we cover the following:
- Shakespeare Birth Place
- Henley Street
- Holy Trinity Church Stratford
- Ann Hathaway’s Cottage
- Royal Shakespeare Theater
- Swan Theater
- Halls Croft
- Stratford Alms Houses
- Garrick Inn
- Nash’s House
- Mary Arden’s Farm
- Stratford Upon Avon
- River Avon
Glad to see the place again after more than 25 years. I'm Bavarian and sad to say I've been there for only a single evening. But it was amazing and very impressive to walk around and to see all the beautiful houses. At first glance I would say nothing has changed since then. Stratford is still a very nice town. Hope very much to come back some day - not so easy in this nasty time.

We visited Stratford-upon-Avon yesterday (July 2021) and had a lovely time. Your walking tour video helped us plan our trip. Crowds were slim since traveling is still a challenge for international visitors, post-pandemic. We enjoyed a picnic by the Avon, and we also rode the ferris wheel, which gave us spectacular views of the Holy Trinity Church and surrounding areas. Several local people stopped to talk to us (hearing our accents) and made us feel welcome, pointing out Shakespeare's grammar school and offering to take our photo. The guides inside the Shakespeare Birthplace shared many wonderful details. I only wish we'd been able to see a play by the Royal Shakespeare Company, but now we have an excuse to return someday! Thank you again for this succinct and informative walking tour!
Heather, apologies for the delay in response, no excuses really just caught up with work. Many thanks for taking the time out to watch our Stratford edition & your feedback it’s greatly appreciated. So very glad to hear that this was of use to you, that was really the whole idea of the Tour Guides Travel Guides project. Best wishes to you and yours. Rich Jones
Very nice presentation about William Shakespeare. I need to add this to my list.
Why thank you Marcia! Please do make it a point of visiting Stratford. Although it is a tourist stop, it retains it market town feel in the height of the summer season. Cheers, Rich
Love this man, a guide who's not only informative but extremely entertaining. We need more of this on our screens. X
Lenard, The feeling is definitely reciprocated. I am all a flutter awaiting your upcoming London tour. Attention all...Lenard Pink- a must see!!!

Very well done--reccomended
Adorei ! I loved it❤!
nice !!! thank you!!
Great video Richard thank you, can you tell me the facilities for blue badge holders please. I have limited walking distances any advice would be appreciated thank you. Brian
Thank you Brian. I appreciate the compliment. There are many places for blue badge holders in Stratford. In my experience, one of the best place to focus would be the Shakespeare Birth Place; it's really geared up for that. They have the good bathrooms. The entire town is relatively easy with plenty of places to rest. Parking could town center by the birthplace, behind the Birthplace Coach Terminal. They have handicapped accessible toilets there. Otherwise, park off Sheep Street by Shrieves House post code CV376EE. There are not toilets right there. You'd have to go around the corner. This is a lot reserved for blue badge holders. Regardless of where you park, it will be free. Here is a link to a map of the town that shows all the blue badge places:

You are welcome. Enjoy your trip. Please spread the word about Tour Guides Travel Guides. Any suggestions for a new video?
Midsummer nights dream was first played at alveston manor
Against corruption, thanks for taking the time out to watch our Stratford edition & thanks for the comment. Yes I recall hearing of that in fact I believe I read it somewhere at the Alveston Manor hotel , I've stayed there many times with tour groups & clients. Stay safe and stay healthy.

I grew up in Warwickshire & myself with a friend used to cycle 17 miles to Startford for a day out & then cycle 17 miles back home. Do kids still go on cycle day trips?
Andrew, There are a lot of cyclists in the UK and quite a few beautiful, established routes in that area for mountain and road bikes. I have to say that in my experience the cycling enthusiasts all seem to be adults. I am sure that children and teens bike, but the world is not what it once was when we were young. I doubt many parents would feel comfortable allowing a trip such as you described. The roads are much busier with so much more traffic. Sadly that age of innocence has moved on. We must factor in that today's youth may not be as interested in those types of outdoor pursuits and might prefer more electronic pursuits as well. I must thank you for the question though. It reminded me of my youth and all those types of outdoor activities we would get up to. Cheers.
The Gower monument was constructed in Paris over a 12 year period between 1876-1888 by Lord Ronald Gower and various associates and craftsman. It was unveiled at a ceremony attended by Oscar Wilde on 10 October 1888, at its original location in gardens to south of the Memorial Theatre. The monument was moved to its current location in 1933 following the rebuilding of the theatre after the devastating fire of 1926.
Thank you for the information. Very useful. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Typo at 8:37 - wish is *father* to the thought, not farther.

Market in Stratford is on Fridays
RESPECTED SIR, I AM FROM INDIA. FROM WHERE I CAN GET ORIGINAL. SHAKESPEARE'S UNABRIDGED ALL PLAYS
Krishna , thanks for taking the time out to watch our Stratford edition. I am not sure exactly what you are asking me here , but as far as I know there a no original plays in Shakespeare’s hand that actually exist. There is the First Folio that was put together in 1623 , seven years after his death by former friends & colleagues of his, that I believe contains 36 pieces of his work and as I understand it is in the library of UBC University of British Columbia. I hope this helps. Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides.
А кадры какого фильма?
Why would you dislike
Thank you Simon!
I know😟. Made no sense to me either. Brilliant tour as per usual.
Marlowe fans
this bloke spilled beer on me at a pub in deal. ear!
T Mac, I've never been to Deal. And, if you knew me at all, you'd know, I'd rather drink beer than spill it.
I searched it because of Shakespeare's was born here in 1564
Thanks Numan Jani. Hope you enjoyed the tour. You should visit it in real life. Cheers Rich
Sir ji salamat plz old mather ho plz help me Breast cancer ha plz sport karey mara koi be nei ha mara ghair runt pa ha bhai ji plz 🤲🤲🤲😭😭😭🙋♀️🙋♀️🤲🤲🤲
Very nice video. Well presented and full of fascinating information. However, why oh why do the titles spell THEATRE as THEATER? This is an English town and the Theatre is The Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Please change it. It's so annoying to read American spelling on something in England. Americans are not stupid and they know we spell "theatre" differently.!
Well spotted! I am based in America, and although these videos are for everyone, we are trying to target an American audience. I have been generating business through this channel creating itineraries and tours through American clients traveling to Britain and Europe. I wanted to make things familiar for them. Plus my editor here is American. Out of all the views we have, you are the only one who noticed. That shows you have a discerning eye. I have some stuff coming out on the Cotswolds in the next couple of weeks. Keep an eye out and let me know what you think. Best wishes, Rich Jones
Totally agree about the spelling of Theatre. Otherwise a splendid informative tour. Have spent many a winters Sunday morning in the Dirty Duck by the log fire. However tend to avoid Stratters now in the 'season' as I don't speak Japanese !
are there any people whose teachers told them to watch this, cause mine did
geez my classmate had seen this xD he could have liked it or smth
Clearly your teacher is brilliant! No seriously, thanks for watching. Cheers, Rich
I gave up adter 9 minutes, couldn’t listen to this div any more. Loves the sound of his own voice.
shame about choice of presenter
You lost my confidence at the point you stood by the Stratford Canal (built 1816) and said the bridge was where Stratford got it's name from. I don't think there is much doubt that the Street forded the Avon, not the canal.
Dear Michael, Thank you so much for you comment. We here at Tour Guides' Travel Guides value all feedback- positive or negative. It can only help us move this project forward. After 30 plus years in the travel industry leading tours around Europe, Britain, and Ireland, we have learned some steadfast rules.Keep your clients safe. Keep your commentary light yet informative. Never take yourself too seriously. Never lie to or mislead clients because there is always someone out there who will know more than you, and you Michael, are that case in point.
So, if you haven't lost too much confidence in the Tour Guides' Travel Guides, you might want to review the piece again. I did not categorically state that there was a bridge over this canal. I said, It has been said, and I have been told by many local guides there was a crossing either in this area or further upstream by Trinity Church. I was emphasizing the Start Ford, the name being quite literal.
I hope this clarifies any misconceptions and restores your confidence.

All this terrible tour guide goes on about is coats of arms. He’s obsessed and spouts a load of boring crap. Misses out what we want to know about tours!!!
Nothing more than a Tourist trap !!!!
