Warwick and Stratford

We spent the night in Stratford which we were lucky to be able to do. As it turns out, the campsite we stayed at was having a massive RV show that weekend. We managed to park for 5 pounds on an extremely small bit of grass. We were blown away by the number and size of all the motor homes on site. There were two that appeared larger than our old apartment. We had a small lunch, then we headed into town. Our hope was to see a show, but to no avail. If we were to see one, we would have had to book a few months in advance. Although we got to walk the streets of Shakespeare’s home town, we did not get to cross off watching a Shakespearian play in Stratford. As far as the town goes, there isn’t much to do or see, unless it involves restaurants, bars, cafĂ©’s and the occasional play. Which means we would like to go back to do just that.
The following morning we woke early to have enough time to visit Warwick Castle, the Gloucester Cathedral and finish the day off with a drive to Bristol. We were waiting inline to purchase tickets for the castle when Julie spotted the price of admission. At a staggering £17 per person, plus the £5 parking we had already handed over, we opted on skipping this over priced attraction.
