Stratford-Upon-Avon

• An exploration of Stratford-Upon-Avon's town centre with two self-guided heritage walks with an optional treasure hunt. Completing the treasure hunt keeps everyone actively engaged, and urges you to look up, down and every which-way - so you won't miss out on any of the town's treasures.
  Explore, Discover, and Enjoy!
• Most clues are chosen for their historical value, so you'll learn about the diverse culture, significant people and extraordinary events which have influenced Stratford-Upon-Avon in becoming what it is today.
• This is an outdoor, unsupervised activity - so you can go at a pace which suits you, whilst keeping you healthy!
• A Curious About walk is a fun and social activity for all the family and friends. Different people can take on different roles - follow the map, identify picture clues, read directions, etc - it's ideal for children from the age of 6, and if you can walk/wheelchair it, you're young enough!
• The two walks have been designed so that the second one follows on from where the first one ends. Do both, or have a breather and do the second one another day! They both start and finish in the heart of the town - so buses, trains and car parks are easily available to get you there and back.

Each booklet has a page dedicated to the history of the town and 2 pages summarising each walk with suggestions on what to visit along the way. Walk 1 has 21 clues & walk 2 has 14 - both with detailed directions to follow. There are interesting stories about important people, places & events along the way; detailed instructions on how to find a clue if you're stuck; and a comprehensive map with the routes marked on.

"I loved the walks - did them on my own, as I had a weekend to myself. I expected lots to do with Shakespeare (which there was!) but hadn't expected the really unusual canal, which is tucked away so it's difficult to see - but very interesting. Brilliant, thanks."

"Hi Robert and Sue. Just got home from work and the booklets arrived today. Many thanks, they are great. Kind regards."

"We have only recently been introduced to 'Curious About...' by a friend who took us on the lovely route through Southwell. This week we were given the task of entertaining our 13 year old granddaughter for a couple of days. As she lives within striking distance of Stratford-upon-Avon we ordered and printed off the Curious About booklet. We weren't too sure what the response would be from a rather unpredictable teenager! We need not have worried as Kaity fully engaged with the idea and we all had a very enjoyable day."
