If you ever travel to England (or live there), you'll know there's a lot of Shakespeare places to go and see, in particular around his hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon. As far as tourist sites go, they're basically what you'd expect. But for a pair of English language/history/literature nerds, they're a bit more interesting. Visiting the Globe to see a Shakespeare play as it was written to be performed for yours truly wasn't just a cool part of a trip to London, it was a pilgrimage.

Notes:

  • The picture of Shakespeare's birthplace with the working roads directly in front of it is available through Wikipedia: England-8.jpg#/media/File:William_Shakespeare_-Birthplace_-England-8.jpg">https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:William_Shakespeare_-Birthplace_-England-8.jpg#/media/File:William_Shakespeare_-Birthplace_-England-8.jpg 
  • King Edward VI School was where Shakespeare attended school - Lindsay got there eventually.
