The WalkTalkShow.co.uk - Guided Tour of Stratford upon Avon

Stratford's famous WalkTalkShow is a fascinating and entertaining guided tour through the entire history of Stratford, from its humble 7th Century beginnings. You will learn all about the town, William Shakespeare and the buildings and events that punctuate a history spanning 14 centuries. The tour has 20 stops - each one used to illustrate key historical details; both about the Bard and his hometown. Just how significant was the Guild of the Holy Cross [founded in 1269] to local history - and who was the enigmatic Hugh Clopton? See Harvard House (1596), the birthplace of the man who went on to start America's first and most famous University. Shakespeare frequented all five of the taverns from his day that survive to this - and you still can. You will also learn a lot about the greatest writer ever as well as the iconoclastic forces of English history that shaped the man, his home town, the British Isles - and consequently the wider world.
