Stratford-upon-Avon - Our first day with real sunshine (well, for a few hours anyway)!

Took a 2 hour plus bus ride to Stratford and spent the afternoon walking around town, visiting Holy Trinity Church where Shakespeare is buried, walked along the River Avon & Stratford canal, and ate at The Garrick Inn at night.

Shakespeare lived and died in a house which used to stand here. Unfortunately, some not so bright people had it demolished in 1759 =P
