1. Private Tour of Stratford-Upon-Avon:

Tailored Tours welcome you to a tour of England’s beautiful county of Warwickshire. In the morning we visit the quiet market town of Stratford-Upon-Avon with its strong connections to the world’s most famous playwright; William Shakespeare. In this town you can visit the house that he was born in, as well as the church where he had both his Baptism and Funeral Just a 5 minute drive takes you to the delightful Hamlet of Shottery, the place where Shakespeare’s wife grew up. Here you can visit Anne Hathaway’s Cottage and grounds and envisage what this area was like 500 years ago.

2. Private Tour of Warwick Castle:

In the afternoon we take a short drive to Warwick Castle. Once the home of The Earl’s of Warwick, this castle was arguably the most important fortress north of London, thanks to the power and success of Richard Neville. During the War of the Roses, Neville’s allegiance was paramount to whom ascended the throne, with King Henry VI losing and regaining his throne during this turbulent time.

The Castle today has an eclectic mix of old and new. Managed by Merlin Entertainment, the Castle is a lot more commercial than the likes of Windsor Castle, but is a great day out for children who want to learn what Medieval Castles were like in the Middle-Ages. Particular points of interest include the trebuchet (the largest siege weapon in the world!) and the bird of prey show.
