Shakespeare´s Birthplace: Possibly the most famous and most visited literary landmark in Britain. This is the house where it is thought that Shakespeare was born and spent his formative years. The house is approached via the Visitors Centre which holds a comprehensive exhibition about Shakespeares life. The Birthplace is then reached via the charming and meticulously tended gardens, which contains many trees, flowers and herbs mentioned in Shakespeares works.
The house today offers an unrivalled glimpse at every-day life in days gone by, showing not just how a house would look but how householders survived from day-to-day.
