Shakespeare’s attractions
It is suggested that you pre-book your tickets to the attractions and consider the sightseeing bus to take you around. It’s very flexible, picking up/dropping off regularly, and if you use your charm the driver might drop you off on The Ridgeway as there is a bus stop very close to us
