RIVERSIDE WALK - STRATFORD UPON AVON

Take an easy stroll along both sides of the River Avon in Stratford. From the East side of the river you will get outstanding views of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, boating activities and slightly further down river you will be able to see Holy Trinity Church, where William Shakespeare is buried. There are many car parks in

Stratford, the largest being on the East side of the river next to The Butterfly Farm.

Start from the bandstand, next to the car park. Take the footpath alongside the river, where you will see the Royal Shakespeare Theatre across the river on the opposite bank - to your right is the tramway bridge. As you view the theatre, turn left and follow the path. You will also see many activities to be had on the river,

including hire of rowing boats or river cruises.
