The thatched farmhouse in Shottery where Anne Hathaway, Shakespeare's wife, grew up: eleven rooms with family furniture, including the bed in which he is said to have courted her, and a cottage garden with an orchard and willows. It is Stratford's picture-postcard image.
You get there on foot in 30 to 35 minutes from the centre along a path between meadows, or by car, with a public pay car park on Cottage Lane. With a Shakespeare's Birthplace ticket it costs £5 more; on its own, £15 online.
