If we are all playing parts then William Shakespeare was cast as the greatest writer England has ever seen.  Your Blue Badge Guide will bring the great man and the characters important to him back to life.  You will see the place where Shakespeare was born as well as where he lies buried.  Stratford Upon Avon is home to many beautiful houses and a short drive away is the delightful house that belonged to Shakespeare’s mother, Mary Arden.
