This old market town on the Avon is well known as the birthplace of William Shakespeare, England's greatest playwright. The house where he was born consisted of two parts, a shop and an inn. Anne Hathaway's cottage (she was Shakespeare's wife), is an excellent example of an Elizabethan country cottage with a thatched roof. The parental home of Shakespeare's wife is situated about 1 mile away in the small village of Shottery. These little villages are visited by some 300 000 tourists every year.
