Stratford-upon-Avon (full day)

En-route Visit
Market Bosworth
Following breakfast at the hotel, we check out and make our way to the pretty town of Market Bosworth. With its picturesque Georgian architecture and cobbled main square, it’s a lovely place to enjoy a stroll before tucking into a local treat in one of the charming cafés. The White Boar Inn is also worth a visit, where Richard III spent the night before the Battle of Bosworth, and you can learn more about the town’s role in the Wars of the Roses at the award-winning Bosworth Battlefield Visitor Centre.
Day 2 : Stratford Upon Avon
Stratford-upon-Avon is a historic market town in Warwickshire situated on the banks of the River Avon and a popular tourist destination attracting over three million visitors a year. With its beautiful surroundings it’s not hard to see why it’s such a hit with coach trip visitors.
Best known for being the birthplace of the poet and playwright William Shakespeare and home to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford plays host to a rich programme of events and activities from festivals and music in the park to river racing and cruises.
