(sorry for the delay in posting - combination of too tired and poor internet service)
We went to Stratford Upon Avon birthplace of William Shakespeare - with our first stop at Anne Hathaway's cottage (above) I was surprised to see such a large building but we were told that when Anne lived in the cottage it would have been only two rooms - the kitchen and a living room - I say living room as this is where they ate, visited, slept - lived. Anne came from a family of nine - hard to imagine all living in a relatively small area. Rooms have been added throughout the years.
We also visited Holy Trinity Church where Shakespeare is buried.

the grave is inside the church
We then travelled through the country side - taking many back roads - some looked like a trail not a road - very narrow, one car only but it is a two way road and everyone seems to drive rather fast... made for an interesting afternoon but beautiful scenery.
this place is for sale - only 675,000.00 pounds
