My Euro Travel in Stratford Upon Avon in England

I am honoured to visit Stratford Upon Avon in England which is the birthplace of the famous poet, playwright and actor, William Shakespeare. We had the chance to go around this very interesting town. This town is a popular tourist destination owing to its status as Shakespeare's birthplace. Millions of people from all over the world visit this place every year.

The statue that you can see in the picture belongs to Lord Ronald Cower. It is also located near the River Avon. This place is full of history that it really interest me. Another dream come true, visiting this place. It seems that rain is coming soon in this photo..That's England's typical weather.
"Stratford-upon-Avon is a market town and civil parish in south Warwickshire, England. It lies on the River Avon, 22 miles (35 km) south east of Birmingham and 8 miles (13 km) south west of the county town, Warwick. It is the main town of the District of Stratford-on-Avon, which uses the term "on" to indicate that it covers a much larger area than the town itself. In 2001, the town's population was 23,676."
