Warwickshire is a Heart of England county.
It features the city of
Stratford-upon-Avon, where William Shakespeare
was born in 1564 and died in
1616. Stratford is filled with monuments to
The Bard, but none of the town's
21,000 residents has been able to dig up dirt on him,
since history's most
renowned playwright left behind no personal papers of any kind.
Shakespeare
didn’t have to look far for ideas, either. The subject of one of his
plays,
Richard III, was slain in nearby Market Bosworth.
That historically preserved
town radiates out from a central square
where market has been held each
Wednesday since the year 1285.
Warwickshire is also home to a world famous
medieval castle.
Kenilworth Castle is linked to the legend of King Arthur.
Pomp and
circumstance surrounding a 16th century visit by Queen Elizabeth I
to
Kenilworth is thought to have inspired scenes in “A Midsummer Night’s
Dream,”
as a certain 11-year-old Billy was most likely on hand to witness the
event.
But lest Shakespeare get all the literary credit, we should remember
the
Warwickshire village of Nuneaton was home to Evans, better known by her
pen name,
George Eliot. Splendid countryside and such history make
Warwickshire one
of the most visited regions of the UK
