How To Get There

Directions

You can travel from London to Stratford-upon-Avon in under 2 hours by car. Since we are close to the M40, M42 and M6 motorway networks we are also easily reached from the Midlands and the North. The town centre is a short drive from Junction 15 of the M40 and is well sign posted on all major routes. Shakespeare's Birthplace is in Henley Street which is a ten minute walk from the train station.
