April 18, 2018       Malvern Hills and Statford-upon-Avon


Malvern Hills is an area listed as "An Area of Outstanding Beauty" located south east of us.  We finally had a sunny, warm day so we hightailed it to Malvern Hills for the morning.  The views did not disappoint!

After Malvern Hills, we drove to Stratford-upon-Avon which is the birthplace of Shakespeare.  We learned a lot and was able to watch a little Shakespeare performed by a couple of actors.

More of the main room.  Having a bed for guests visible from the street was impressive!


The hall of Shakespeare's childhood.

Mr. Shakespeare made gloves and other leather goods.

A period cradle, not necessarily his.
