Did you know that the translation for Avon is 'river'?
We travelled on the River River then ;)
The river was lovely albeit there not being much on the trees at this time of year. It was early spring and flowers were blooming but there wasnt that much greenery around as there would be in summer.
The trip in the barge was lovely. We went on Bancroft Cruises, which last 45 minutes. It seemed like alot shorter than that though, as time flies! But it was a full 45 minutes.
We cruised beneath the 500 year old Compton Bridge, past the Royal Shakespeare Company's two theatres, and then as far as the absolutely gorgeous Trinity Church.
There are plenty of ducks and geese to see along the way, as well as other cruisers and rowers. It was peaceful.
I think it would have been nicer if it was an open air tour (better for photographs too!), but it was still lovely :)
We paid £4.50 each as 2 adults. If you want to know when the next boat trip is, look at the clock on the deck. Leave a Comment

The town is relatively small, easy to walk.. and for the out areas... Mary Arden's House and Anne Hathaway's Cottage, there is the City Sightseeing bus that can take you there. So there's no real need for a car.
If going by train from London:
Chiltern Railways operates a direct service from London Marylebone Station to Stratford-upon-Avon Station. Book your ticket through National Rail.
If going by bus from London:
National Express operates a direct service from London Victoria Station to Stratford-upon-Avon. Book your ticket through National Express . Leave a Comment

We saw Stratford-upon-Avon in two ways... by hopping off and on a sightseeing bus, plus by doing loads of walking.
The bus picks you up at points all over the town and comes along every 15 to 30 minutes.
Our trip took around an hour from start to finish, we then did it again but this time, hopped on and off at places we wanted to see.
This is handy as some places, like Mary Arden's House and Anen Hathaway's Cottage, are out of town and a tad far to walk. We do have a car but decided to go by bus.
The commentary is electronic and informative. They provide a good service! Leave a Comment

Parking is a mini nightmare at the best of times, and it doesnt make sense to catch buses around the town unless you are doing the sightseeing bus, as the town is easily walkable.
There are plenty of places to keep your bike safe as you go about your business.
Aooarently it is also a good place to advertise your business :) Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle

There are relaxing Riverboat cruises on the Avon that are just the thing on a sunny day. The boats dock near the theatres on the Avon which is close to the park with the tourist information center. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

There is a frequent Thames Trains service to Stratford from London passing Oxford en route. On our return the train was cancelled - leaves on the track - British rail is running out of excuses - so we had to take the slowest bus ever back. Anyway, there are train and bus services to Stratford from most UK towns & cities and these are your best bet if you don't have a car. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Walking around the town is the best way to see Stratford. It's a small town and most of the major sites are close to the centre. If you plan to see Mary Arden's house or Anne Hathaway's house, then a car would be handy. You could also take the Stratford tour bus. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
