Avon Weir

Highlight • Viewpoint

Avon Weir

Tip by

8.56 km

If you take a walk to the end of the Recreation Ground furthest from the town centre and then carry on over the little bridge over the stream, you will shortly see Lucy’s Mill Bridge ahead of you. This version of the bridge was built in 1934 but there has been a bridge of one kind or another here since 1599. Perhaps one reason for walking this far down the river is that, having seen the bridge, you can now cross over, turn right and head towards Holy Trinity Church, the RSC theatre and then back to Waterside and the town centre. A nice circular walk

Warwickshire Firefighters Memorial, Bancroft Gardens

Highlight • Monument

More often than not there is someone performing here as it makes an intimate little ‘theatre’. Musicians, a man dressed as Shakespeare reading monologues off by heart or as in the photograph, a lady playing a violin with great skill. Grab a coffee or an ice cream from somewhere close by and spend a relaxing time here. As you leave think once again of those brave firemen

From here it is 'just' 185 locks to get to London ;-)

Stratford-upon-Avon Waterside

Highlight • Rest Area

Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon

Highlight • Religious Site

Holy Trinity Church dates to around 1210 and is the oldest building in Stratford-upon-Avon. The church is most famous for its links to the playwright William Shakespeare (1564-1616), who is buried at the church.

A must-see for literary fans, Holy Trinity is one of the most popular churches in the UK and has more than 200,000 visitors each year. As such, you need to plan your visit wisely. Peak times on popular days such as Bank Holidays are likely to be uncomfortably busy or unavailable. Entry is around £3. For more information, visit: stratford-upon-avon.org.
