Stratford-upon-Avon
is a historical market town located 91 miles north west of London. Its history
goes back over 800 years, and in medieval times it was a popular trading town which
helped urbanized the area outside of London. It’s also famous because it is the
town Shakespeare grew up in. In fact, some of the buildings still survive that
would have been familiar to him. Nowadays, the town has been turned into a popular
tourist spot. There are many great shops, cafes, historical sites to visit, and
even a beautiful park.

I began my visit to Stratford-upon-Avon at a local coffee shop,
that had to most delicious cappuccino (I wish I remembered the name!). Then I
did some shopping at some of the nice clothing stores, until it was about lunch
time when a group of us went to a cat café. Yes, a cat café called Shake’s Paw Café!
It was a charming place, and they had the nicest cats all of which were up for
adoption! Afterwards we all took a stroll through the nearby park. The park was
gorgeous, check out the pictures below!

Stratford-upon-Avon was a charming
town to visit! I really had no plans upon arrival, but it turned out to be a nice place
to stroll around town, shop and have lunch.
