In Shakespeare’s footsteps

Back in 1769, actor-manager David Garrick staged the first Shakespeare Jubilee here; torrential rain washed out the plays, yet the event cemented Stratford-upon-Avon as a literary shrine. Henley Street still holds the Birthplace, Shottery lies 1.5 miles west with Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, and New Place marks Shakespeare’s final home. Along the river bend, Holy Trinity Church—his 1616 burial site—anchors a compact map of a life that moved from guild halls to global canon.

Your driver collects you from your hotel in a Mercedes and links each address while you tour, browse, or break for a cream tea—no parking puzzles, no clock-watching. With our private chauffeur in Stratford-upon-Avon, the Birthplace, Shottery, Hall’s Croft, and Holy Trinity fall into a tidy loop of 10–12 minutes between stops; add Mary Arden’s Farm in Wilmcote, just 3 miles away, and we’ll reshape timings while the driver handles waiting and tickets.
