It is a magical place, despite the tourists and the commercialism. I loved walking along the river, in particular, and I loved the garden at the back of New Place. We just sat there for awhile, enjoying the sun. I liked the tour at the birthplace too, but the door closing behind me took me by surprise.

I saw many of the same things, too. I was quite disappointed by the beginning of Shakespeare's birthplace, too. I felt like it was an annoying device to control summer crowds, and since we went in winter, it just delayed us with pointless videos showing films I'd seen and very few artifacts/mannequins. The house itself was very good though. I just recently went to Stratford upon Avon! I saw many of the same things, too. I was quite disappointed by the beginning of Shakespeare’s birthplace, too.

I visited many, many years ago as a visitor just out of college, traveling on a shoe string budget. I stood in line for hours and hours to get a standing room only ticket for King Lear, then stayed in a tiny cupboard of a room in an inn that was full. But the memory lives on - it was exhilerating to watch a play in Shakespeare's birthplace. i can see how it would be your favorite place. Would love to visit again.
