Shakespeare's Birthplace, Stratford Upon Avon, England
A visit To Stratford Upon Avon is a pilgrimage. Shakespeare's birthplace deserves more than a simple casual visit. The house where he was born has on one wall a panel painted with the naive images from all his plays each with a short line that summarizes its synopsis. The entire town is marked by places related to the bard's life, the house where his wife Anna Hathaway lived before their wedding, and the church where both are buried.

But the town was packed with people roaming its High Street morphed for the day into a car show with sports models delighting the audiences and families picnicking near the Shakespeare's Globe Theater by the shores of Avon River.
Warwick Castle, England
Stratford is in the Warwickshire district, close to Warwick Castle, one of the most impressive in England. The castle has a large courtyard surrounded by tall well preserved fortifications. Its first build was in 1068 by William the Conquerer, two years after the battle of Hastings.

The castle changed hands many times and today is owned by Merlin Entertainment, the second-largest entertainment company in the world after Disney. They fixed the castle and opened it in 1978 but they "disnefied" it with children's places and treasure hunts. For the ones who came to visit the old interiors, the company preserved several rooms in the original state and a walk around the ramparts with great views over the countryside's yellow rape seed fields.
