Stratford-upon-Avon (/-ˈeɪvən/), commonly known as just Stratford, is a market town and civil parish in the Stratford-on-Avon district, in the county of Warwickshire,^[3] in the West Midlands region of England. It is situated on the River Avon, 91 miles (146 km) north-west of London, 22 miles (35 km) south-east of Birmingham and 8 miles (13 km) south-west of Warwick.^[4] The estimated population in 2007 was 25,505,^[5] increasing to 27,445 at the 2011 census. As of 2018,^[6] the population that resides in the Stratford-on-Avon district has a population figure of 130,098.

The town is the southernmost point of the Arden area on the edge of the Cotswolds.^[7] Stratford was originally inhabited by Britons before Anglo-Saxons and remained a village before the lord of the manor, John of Coutances, set out plans to develop it into a town in 1196. In that same year, Stratford was granted a charter from King Richard I to hold a weekly market in the town, giving it its status as a market town. As a result, Stratford experienced an increase in trade and commerce as well as urban expansion.

The town is a popular tourist destination owing to its status as the birthplace and gravesite of playwright and poet William Shakespeare, and receives approximately 2.5 million visitors a year.^[8] The Royal Shakespeare Company resides in Stratford's Royal Shakespeare Theatre.

Nuneaton, in northern Warwickshire, lies at the very heart of England. The Royal Geological Survey and the Ordnance Survey have pinpointed the exact centre of the country to be on the Watling Street, about a mile away from the town. Nuneaton is therefore a natural choice when choosing a base to explore the area. The town is famous as the birthplace of the Victorian novelist George Eliot, who lived there from 1819 to 1841. Many visitors make pilgrimages to the ancient churchyards of Nuneaton and Chilvers Coton, where monuments to people immortalised in her novels can be found. It is even possible to stay in George Elliot’s house – which is now a Premier Inn, with a heritage of which it is very proud. One feature of Nuneaton not to be missed, is the bustling street market, which dates back to the 13th century. The market operates on Wednesdays and Fridays and continues to attract people from across the Midlands with its fresh produce and array of goods for sale. The town is also blessed with a splendid public park which was laid out in 1907. Situated right in the town centre, the park is the result of an endowment by local businessman and colliery owner – Edward Ferdinand Melly. Edward Melly left money, not only to landscape the park but to create an art gallery and museum. Visitors interested in history will also be intrigued by the fine terracotta features which adorn many of the buildings (hint: remember to look upwards!). These are a legacy of the town’s many skilled brick and tile manufacturers. The town’s central position provides it with outstanding transport links, which make it especially attractive to both visitors and the growing number of small businesses which call Nuneaton home. The M1, M6, M40 and M69 are only a short drive away, while excellent rail services radiate across the country, offering fast services to London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leicester and Coventry to name but a few. However Nuneaton is not all about speed. Should you be looking for a leisurely way to travel, the Coventry Canal runs through the town and if you would rather not leave town, watching the colourful boats float by is a very pleasant way to spend a few hours on a sunny day.

Those wanting to get close to nature and unwind are spoiled for choice as Nuneaton is close to many places of outstanding natural beauty such as the superb Arbury Estate and its George Eliot connections. Nearby Hartshill Hayes Country Park is another beautiful location with relaxing walks whilst there are rolling vistas across the fields of Leicestershire to Bosworth Battlefield and Charnwood Forest.

Rugby is a smart midlands market town, with wide tree lined streets, that date back some 2000 years. The town's development accelerated during the later stages of the industrial revolution, when it became an important railway and heavy engineering centre.

The town has a pleasant pedestrianised shopping centre. Its market place is lined with many fine buildings, including the 14th-c Church of St Andrew, one of few churches in England with a double peal of bells. The clock tower was built to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887. Markets are usually held every Monday, Friday and Saturday.

Rugby private school has produced a long list of prize pupils, including Salman Rushdie, C. L. Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), Matthew Arnold, Neville Chamberlain, Rupert Brooke, Wyndham Lewis and Thomas Hughes, who wrote Tom Brown's Schooldays. A granite plaque commemorates the exploits of its most honourable pupil "William Webb Ellis", who originated the game of rugby football here in 1823. His statue is also visible outside the school. Several stone monuments, dedicated to Rugby's literary scholars, can be found in the gardens of the Percival Guildhouse and the Jubilee Gardens, (carved by Michael Scheuermann).

The peaceful meandering Oxford Canal, once an important highway for trade goods before the arrival of the railways, is today only used for pleasure boating. It crosses the River Avon near the centre of town via a brick built aqueduct (Brownsover Aqueduct).

Warwick offers to visitors today the opportunity of exploring not only the architectural gems of our mediaeval history but also those of our more recent past and the modern vibrant life of the county town of Warwickshire.

The town of Warwick was founded on the banks of the River Avon in 914 AD by Æthelflæd , daughter of King Alfred the Great, as a defence against the Danish invaders, on a site overlooking earlier riverside settlements. It is built on a small hill which controlled not only the river valley but also the river crossing on the road to London and the roads to Stratford, Coventry and the salt way to Droitwich. The Anglo-Saxon town was surrounded partly by a wall and partly by a ditch.

The mediaeval core of the town was prevented from expansion by the open spaces that surround it: the Common and Racecourse, the grounds of the Priory, St Nicholas Meadow, the River Avon, and later, Warwick Castle. Within a relatively small area there are many buildings of historic interest, of which the Castle is the most important.

This is one of the most dramatic and complete mediaeval castles in the country. It has been inhabited continuously since the Middle Ages, and was the home of the Earls of Warwick until recently.

Many of the central streets of the town were destroyed by the Great Fire of 1694. The buildings which were burnt, and many which were not, were re-built in the handsome style of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. St Mary’s Church, which dominates the surrounding countryside, had a new nave and tower at the same time.Several important mediaeval buildings survived the fire and can be seen to this day, notably the town’s mediaeval Guildhall, now the Lord Leycester Hospital, as well as a group of timber – framed buildings around Oken’s House.

Warwick and its historic buildings have featured in BBC TV’s drama series ‘Shakespeare & Hathaway’, ‘A Christmas Carol’, ‘Dangerfield’, ‘Pride and Prejudice ‘and even in Sci-Fi’s ‘Dr Who’.

Evesham (/ˈiːv(ɪ)ʃəm, ˈiːsəm/)^[1] is a market town and parish in the Wychavon district of Worcestershire, in the West Midlands region of England. It is located roughly equidistant between Worcester, Cheltenham and Stratford-upon-Avon. It lies within the Vale of Evesham, an area comprising the flood plain of the River Avon, which has been renowned for market gardening. The town centre, situated within a meander of the river, is subjected regularly to flooding. The 2007 floods were the most severe in recorded history.

The town was founded around an 8th-century abbey, one of the largest in Europe, which was destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, with only Abbot Lichfield's Bell Tower remaining. During the 13th century, one of the two main battles of England's Second Barons' War took place near the town, marking the victory of Prince Edward, who later became King Edward I; this was the Battle of Evesham. Evesham is situated on a horseshoe-shaped peninsula almost completely surrounded by water in a meander of the River Avon between Stratford-upon-Avon and Tewkesbury. The modern town encompasses Bengeworth and Greater and Little Hampton, which were originally independent villages on the opposite bank of the river. Evesham is linked to Bengeworth by Workman Bridge and Hampton by Abbey Bridge, or New Bridge the first completely structural concrete bridge in the country.^[24] The Cotswold hills stretch from the east to the south-west, while to the west the area is bounded by the Malvern Hills. To the north the land is flat with gentle undulations.^[25] The Avon, a tributary of the River Severn, is navigable but mainly used by leisure traffic and there is a marina providing moorings.

The River Avon at Evesham has always been susceptible to heavy flooding which is well documented from the 13th century. In May 1924 floods at Evesham ranked 5th in the annual flood list 1848 to 1935.^[26] In May 1998, Evesham was one of the towns worst hit by record flooding along the River Avon. The river rose 19 feet (5.8 m) in just a few hours, sinking tethered narrowboats, flooding areas of Bengeworth, and threatening the 19th-century Workman Bridge as static homes from a riverside caravan site broke up and became wedged in its arches. In July 2007 Evesham had its heaviest rainfall for 200 years, reaching more than 320% the average in some areas. In the Severn catchment, it caused some of the heaviest floods recorded, and in Evesham the flooding was the worst in its recorded history.^[27]

Moreton-in-Marsh is one of the principal market towns in the northern Cotswolds situated on the Fosse Way and now served by the main line railway from London Paddington. It grew up in the thirteenth century as a market town with a wide main street, narrow burgage plots and back lanes. There still is a busy Tuesday market with about 200 stalls attracting many visitors. See image of Tolls charged in 1905. Moreton has been a traveller's town for at least 1700 years and was used as a coaching station before the coming of the Oxford to Worcester railway in 1853. There are several pubs, inns, hotels, tea shops, restaurants and accommodation in the form of B&Bs and holiday cottages in the immediate vicinity. A popular caravan site exists just on the outskirts of the town.

The high street has many elegant eighteenth-century inns and houses including the Redesdale Market Hall (seen in the above picture). This hall is at the centre of the town, a plaque on the building reads -

"The Redesdale Hall was erected in 1887 by Sir Algernon Bertram Freeman Mitford, G.C.V.O., K.C.B., 1st Baron Redesdale, Lord-of-the-Manor of Moreton-in-Marsh in pious Memory of his kinsman, Earl of Redesdale, 1805-1886".

The Hall was subsequently purchased by Sir Gilbert Alan Hamilton Wills, BART, O.B.E, The First Baron Dulverton who presented it in the year 1951 to The North Cotswold Rural District Council. Lord Redesdale lived at nearby Batsford House and is also known for his famous daughters, the Mitford sisters.

The oldest building is likely to be the sixteenth-century Curfew tower on the High Street. Its bell was rung nightly until 1860 to remind people of the risk of fire at night. The Curfew Tower at the junction of High Street and Oxford Street dates from the 17th century, in daily use until 1860. It is said that it once guided home a Sir Robert Fry, lost in the fog, who gave money for its maintenance, in gratitude.

The Parish church of St. David was originally a chapel of ease for Bourton-on-the-Hill and in 1858 was rebuilt in medieval style.

Moreton-in-Marsh was founded on the Roman Fosse Way, later the traditional London to Worcester coaching route via Broadway.

Two miles away in the hamlet of Dorn, many Roman remains have been found.

It was transferred to the ownership of Westminster Abbey just before the Norman Conquest, the estate sold only in 1856 after a thousand years of church ownership. Close to the town is the Four Shires Stone marking the historic meeting point of Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire.

Moreton-in-Marsh was granted its market charter in 1227 and the well known Market is still held every Tuesday throughout the year.

Many of the old buildings along the High Street date from the 17th and 18th centuries.

The White Hart (Royal) Hotel was used by King Charles I as shelter during the English Civil War following the Battle of Marston Moor on July 2, 1644. A copy of the King’s unpaid bill is commemorated on a plaque within the entrance lobby.

Bicester (/ˈbɪstər/ (listen) BISS-tər) is a town and civil parish in the Cherwell district of northeastern Oxfordshire in Southern England.

Between 1951 and 2001 this historic market centre was one of the fastest-growing towns in Oxfordshire.^[1] Development has been favoured by its proximity to junction 9 of the M40 motorway linking it to London, Birmingham and Banbury. It has good road links to Oxford, Kidlington, Brackley, Buckingham, Aylesbury and Witney and railway stations on two different lines: Bicester North and Bicester Village.

It has its own town council. In 2014 the Government, in concert with the local planning authority, planned for Bicester to become a garden city on the basis of the size of its buffers, distance from the Metropolitan Green Belt and to accommodate the demand of commuters to London and Oxford. Up to 13,000 new homes will be built.^[2] Bicester is halfway between Birmingham and London in a straight line, being 51 miles (82 km) from both cities.

Burford’s famous High Street sweeps downhill towards the River Windrush, its three-arched medieval bridge and its impressive church, both sides of the street flanked by an unbroken line of ancient houses and shops.

Little has changed over the centuries, Burford is popular with visitors, both for its beauty and history but also for its shopping, especially antiques, and for the wide variety of places to eat, with restaurants, pubs and teashops. Here you can stay in a hotel frequented by King Charles and Nell Gwynn, dine where Nelson dined or visit England’s oldest pharmacy, a chemists since 1734.

Half way down the hill, the 16th century Tolsey building, once the meeting place for medieval merchants, now houses The Tolsey Museum, a delightful, local museum illustrating the town's social and industrial past.

There are wonderful alleyways and side streets just waiting to be explored and next to a set of medieval almshouses stands St John’s church, a permanent memorial to Burford’s medieval wealth. This fine church is a real gem with many interesting memorials charting some of Burford's great families including one to Henry VIII’s barber surgeon, which includes one of the earliest depictions of native Americans and the ostentatious Tanfield tomb. On the baptismal font is the scratched name of Anthony Sedley, one of the Levellers, mutinous rebels in Cromwell’s army, who were besieged in the church in 1649 and had to watch from the roof as their ringleaders were executed in the churchyard.

Every May there is commemoration of the rebellion, Levellers Day, with a colourful procession through the town and speeches, debate and music celebrating freedom of speech and human rights.
