Sightseeing
Stratford Upon Avon is a few miles away by car and well worth visiting for beautiful riverside walks, great shopping, bars and restaurants and of course all that is the Bard himself! Shakespeare is celebrated through the town and the history can be seen everywhere. Visitors come from all over the world to visit Shakespeare's birthplace and home town.

A lovely local town, lots of seasonal events take place due to a lively town community. Waitrose car park has free parking for a couple of hours, great for local amenities (bank, chemists, opticians, post office, takeaway food etc) and local stores. The Turks Head Pub on the high street is recommended for their real ale.
