As a young man I toured England, mostly, by bicycle. At some places I encountered hordes of tourists who visited places like London, “Edinborrow”, “Canterberry”, “Saulsberry” and other tourist honeypots, such as Bath and Stratford. They were as numerous as an army ranging through a foreign land. My land. I don’t begrudge them. After all, they bring much to these fair isles.
But Stratford-upon-Avon is not just for visitors from afar. Doubtless, if Mr Thomas is gazing down from on high, he will be disappointed that I am not in this traffic- and people-choked town to visit all things Shakespeare. Although Will (or someone else) wrote some great plays, I have to admit to enjoying some of the ensuing movies more.
I also feel a bit for the locals. Try getting from A to B for the groceries!
Anyway, here are a few pics, including some for those who like an old building or two.
And down by the riverside.
A good place to watch the world go by and here some interesting, if unintelligible languages.
And some old buildings.
Some other Shakespeare things.
Birthplace.
My favourite thing in the town.
