In Stratford-upon-Avon among half-timbered houses and distilleries

The discovery of Stratford-upon-Avon can only begin in what is considered to be William's birthplace: his father John worked as a glovemaker in this half-timbered house where William was born in 1564. When his parent died, the mansion was rented out and later became the Swan and Maidenhead Inn, which operated until 1846. Instead, the house that belonged to Judith, the writer's daughter, now houses the Shakespeare Distillery: you can taste a mixture of spirits in the same rooms where the

family of the Bard. The experience of dining in the Royal Shakespeare Company's rooftop restaurant, where a Shakespearean menu is served and the view of the River Avon is admired, is also interesting. Participating in the Becoming Shakespeare walks, one can also take the same route taken by the Bard by listening to stories about his life and places. Instead, to touch the trunks of the trees that are decisive in Hamnet's plot, one must then travel to Gloucestershire, specifically to the Lydney Park Estate to admire the leafy creatures, especially the oaks, that make Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley, the film's main performers, fall in love. The house chosen to set Anne's childhood in the film is called Cwmmau Farmhouse, and is a cottage surrounded by 400 acres of forest that you can even rent for a few days.
