There are five historic houses in or near Stratford-upon-Avon connected with William Shakespeare and his family. Each house has its own character and each offers a different insight to the world in which the famous playwriter and poet was born, lived or died. We visited the three in-town houses, namely, Shakespeare's Birthplace, Nash's House & New Place and Hall's Croft.
The other 2 houses are Mary Arden's house, believed to be the house of Shakespeare's mother, Mary Arden before she married John Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway's cottage, the house where William Shakespeare's wife lived before she was married.
