Avon Boating

Avon Boating on The River Avon at Stratford.

The Avon winds gently through the town, surrounded on both banks by green parkland and flower filled gardens. The Royal Shakespeare Theatre and Holy Trinity Church, containing Shakespeare's tomb, stand amidst the willow trees reflected in the river. The river flows under two fine old bridges and over the site of an ancient ford around which the town was founded.
