A Visit to Stratford
Stratford is a very interesting town, in the centre of England. Everybody knows it as Shakespeare's birthplace. There are no mountains or deep valleys near Stratford but there are beautiful woods, green fields, a quiet gentl river the Avon and lovely black and white houses, with thatched roofs.
The first place which everybody goes to see there is Shakespeares house. It is a small house with small rooms in the centre of Stratford. In one of these rooms Shakespeare was born. On the walls of this room you can see many names of famous people who visited this place: Walter Scott, Dickens, Thackeray and others. In one room there stands a little wooden desk, the desk that Shakespeare sat at when he went to the grammar school in Stratford.
There is a garden behind the house with many flowers, trees and plants which Shakespeare mentioned in his plays. You can see a church there, where Shakespeare was buried. There is a bust of Shakespeare that was made by a Dutch sculptor who lived near Shakespeares Globe Theatre and saw Shakespeare many times. Not far from Shakespeares house there is a very old hotel that was probably there in Shakespeares time. The rooms havent got numbers on the doors as most hotels have. Instead every room has the name of a Shakespeare play on it the Hamlet room, the Romeo and Juliet room and so on.
