Many of the town's old buildings have been preserved and would be familiar to Shakespeare but nowadays there are also modern leisure and shopping facilities, including some excellent restaurants. This lens forms part of a series of lenses about the Shakespeare's Way, which is a a route that it is thought Shakespeare could have used on his journeys between Shakespeare's Birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon and the Globe Theatre in London; it will continue to be updated with information for visitors.
