A place to go for history and beautiful rural Warwickshire countryside, Stratford-upon-Avon is one of the most important tourist destinations in the UK and one of the most inspiring places in history.
Not only did William Shakespeare grow up in this magnificent area, but many other famous faces have grew up in Stratford-upon-Avon including current musical favourites, the Klaxons, novelist, playwright and broadcaster, J.B. Priestly, composer Sir Edgar Elgar and Secretary of State for War John Profumo.
All these people have got their musical, political and writing inspiration in Stratford-upon-Avon; perhaps they were overlooking the magical banks of the river Avon when gaining their inspiration for a song, speech or verse?
With direct train services between Stratford-upon-Avon and London, around every two hours, seven days a week let us take you to this glorious place.
