Shakespeare Birthplace  Trust.
Mary Arden's House & The Shakespeare Countryside Museum. Wilmcote,  5 miles north of Stratford-upon-Avon. Great for a family outing, the timbered  farmhouse was the home of Shakespeare's mother before she married John  Shakespeare and moved to Stratford. The farmhouse displays many interesting  features about life and work on the land. The grounds also feature a working  blacksmith, falconers, livestock and Glebe Farm.

The Shakespeare Houses  are open every day all year round except 23 - 26 December inclusive

Take the A3400 from Stratford to Birmingham. Approximately 2 miles from  Stratford follow signs to the left for Wilmcote and Mary Arden's House which can  be found on the right-hand side in the village.
