5.5 Days in England (Road Trip 2)

September 20, 2013

Last day in England! This day, we ventured to Shakespeare’s Birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon and visited the Roman Baths in Bath.
Shakespeare’s Birthplace offers a tour of the house he grew up in.

Look at this cute little cot where baby Shakespeare slept (or not).

The highlight for me was the courtyard performances of Shakespearean actors upon request.

I could have sat there all day listening to them. But, I did not want to miss the Avon River Boat Tour.

From Stratford-upon-Avon, we drove to Bath to see the highly popular Roman Baths which was constructed in honor of the goddess Sulis Minerva.

Preservation of this popular attraction reportedly cost £7M.

Based on the over a million visitors that come to see it each year, the expense is all worth it.

It was a wonderful week in England. I hope to go back to see more of this country that’s so rich in history.
