The Oppo
Amy used to work here and it comes highly recommended. Don't worry though, she had nothing to do with the cooking.

The Dirty Duck
One of the oldest pubs in Stratford and popular with theatre-goers. Can take your pint across the road next to the river on a good day.

Shakespeare's Birthplace
For the ultimate Stratford experience, indulge in the most literary of tourist attractions.

Nash's House (place of Shakespeare's death) and Hall's Croft (home of Shakespeare's daughter).
Slightly further afield you'll find Anne Hathaway's Cottage, Shottery (once home to Shakespeare's wife) and Mary Arden's House, Wilmcote (home of shakespeare's grandparents)

Bancroft Gardens/River Avon
The river and adjacent parks are probably the highlight of the town and no visit would be complete without a stroll by the river. If it's a nice day you really can't beat it.
Waterside, Stratford-upon-Avon, CV37 6BA
Avon Boating
Rowing boats, motor boats, punts, canoes – you name it, they've got it. Straw hats encouraged but optional.
