Overview

Come and join me on this walk in the heart of Shakespeare's town and countryside. It is a generally level walk with just one gentle incline. It is mainly on good paths - mostly tracks or surfaced routes, with just one muddy path.

The walk features - the rivers Avon and Stour, Holy Trinity Church (Shakespeare's burial place), the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, a former horse drawn tramway, the Shakespeare Way, taking us through the pretty village of Clifton Chambers, and the Stratford Greenway including views across the racecourse.

There are toilets near the start of the walk, otherwise rural.

A cafe is situated near the end of the walk.
