There is a whole wealth of enjoyable scenery and fascinating places to visit in the Stratford areas.  Stratford is a small town surrounded by glorious rural countryside, the colour of which changes from deep greens of spring and winter to the golden harvest yellow of summer and autumn. There are many beautiful small villages each with their own charm and history.  The roads and byways are quiet, the natives are friendly and the inns plentiful.
                          
To the South – The Cotswolds
The hills of the Cotswolds of Gloucestershire start just south of Stratford with Chipping Campden, an historic major town.  This is the old market town, where woollen merchants traded for hundreds of years.  Unaffected by the industrial revolution, you can enjoy old England as it was since the 1700’s.  The Cotswolds are famous for the honey-blond stone buildings.  The whole town of Chipping Campden is built of it, and is a typical example of the entire district.
