Stratford Upon Avon

Since we missed out on Oxford, we decided to detour home through this town after our visit to the Motor Cycle Museum. What a lovely place it is. We arrived later in the afternoon so it wasn't too crowded. We walked around the narrow cobbled streets, taking in the sights including Shakespeare's house. We were too late in the day to make visiting this place worth our while but looked through the gift shop and out into the gardens to get the 'feel' for the place.

We made our way down to the Avon River and did a good walk along the banks before searching for a place to eat. It was such a lovely evening and would have liked a place outdoors but this wasn't to be found. Instead we opted for a restaurant, in a very old building with very low ceilings and beams, called Lambs of Sheep Street. Stephen had to be very careful to duck his head. The meal was beautiful and we left for Duston just as it was getting dark.
