Ah beautiful Stratford. Walked the Avon in Stratford many times and find it so relaxing. They used to have a sightseeing bus which was great, giving you the history of the town and takes you to all Shakespeares houses. Great video

[@AlexTravels1]

Indeed, I did see the bus around actually, and the walk along the River Avon is one of my favourite things to do because of how relaxing it is

I'm a student in Northampton and thinking of visiting in a few weeks. How much would you say would be enough to budget for a day trip?.

[@AlexTravels1]

Hi, The only paid things are the Shakespeare buildings and the Butterfly Farm. When we visited the ticket prices were around £25 for a ticket that gets you in all the Shakespeare Locations, and around £10 for the Butterfly Farm, the rest of the spots in the video were free! Hope that helps and enjoy your trip!

Is there parking available?

[@AlexTravels1]

There is lots of parking and different car parks in the area near the canal basin and the butterfly farm, Bridgeway Multi Storey is a good one, reasonably priced, or the Recreation Car Park also
