The cottage had some wonderful gardens we need to explore further, so with a pass valid for a year for all 5 houses we will be going back. Scarecrows from potatoes and feathers were different too!

5 houses in 5 hours
We did a bit of local sight seeing today and visited the 5 properties owned by the Shakespeare Birthplace trust, as well as Holy Trinity Church where he's buried. Yes we went to Stratford upon Avon as it's only 20 minutes down the road. We started with the 2 outlying properties, Anne Hathaway's Cottage (wife) and Mary Arden's Farm (mother).

Mary Arden's Farm is a working Tudor form with a blacksmith, cooks, basket weaver and falconer that we saw. The actual cottage was much like the last one, heavy dark furniture, small windows and floors at a slant.
