Local Attractions

Stratford-upon-Avon (10 minutes drive) offers history, theatre and shopping and a wide range of restaurants. The town centre is small and pretty with many half timbered buildings and interesting shops. The world famous Royal Shakespeare Company is based in the town, staging plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries throughout the year. Properties associated with the life of William Shakespeare are open to visitors and there are regular guided tours around the town.

Warwick Castle (30 minutes drive) provides enough interest for a full day out. Visiting the villages of the North Cotswolds (including Broadway, Chipping Campden and Stow on the Wold) make another popular day out, with antique shopping a particular highlight.

Cadbury World (45 minutes drive), Birmingham or Cheltenham (1 hour) and Oxford (1 hour 15 minutes drive) are other possibilities for places to visit.
