Shakespeare's New Place, Historical museum at Chapel Street, Stratford-on-Avon, England.
Shakespeare's New Place is a heritage site in Stratford-on-Avon marking where William Shakespeare lived from 1597 until his death in 1616. The grounds include exhibition spaces, a gift shop, and gardens that visitors can explore.
The original Tudor house was built in 1483 by Hugh Clopton as a prominent residence. It was demolished in 1759 by Reverend Francis Gastrell, who was frustrated by constant tourist attention to the property.
The gardens display commissioned artworks and sculptures that draw from scenes and characters in Shakespeare's plays. These pieces were created specifically for this location and give visitors a way to connect with the writer's creative world.
The grounds are easily walkable and the gardens are open year-round in all weather conditions. Plan to spend about 1 to 2 hours exploring the exhibitions and gardens at a comfortable pace.
Archaeological digs uncovered the original Tudor house foundations hidden beneath the contemporary gardens. These discoveries help visitors understand how the actual building was laid out and how Shakespeare lived within it.
