Stratford-upon-Avon

You can cruise to Shakespeare’s Stratford on a boating holiday

From our narrowboat hire base at Wootton Wawen it’s a six-hour, 17-lock journey along the pretty Stratford Canal to Stratford-upon-Avon.

Moor on the River Avon close to the Royal Shakespeare Company’s famous Swan Theatre right in the heart of the historic town, an easy stroll from its museums, shops, markets and restaurants. Explore Stratford-Upon-Avon‘s quaint streets lined by Tudor buildings that would have been familiar to Shakespeare. Visit the Bard’s birthplace and the romantic Anne Hathaway’s Cottage.
