Today's tour of England will take lovers of English culture to witness firsthand the historical sites that have entered the literary treasury of this country, a nation with an early and vibrant industrial and cultural development that stands out in Europe.
Let's start our journey to a small town in the outskirts of Warwickshire to visit the birthplace of the great 16th-century English poet and playwright, William Shakespeare, author of the most famous literary works in England. Walking through Henley Street, the oldest street in Stratford-Upon-Avon, you will be immersed in the bustling atmosphere of the city and eventually find yourself lost in the towering half-timbered house where the author of the famous "Romeo and Juliet" was born.
Traveling southeast of London, we will reach Rochester, the beloved summer residence of the famous novelist Charles Dickens. Wandering around this city, you can see the restored house in Rochester that served as the inspiration for the architecture of Miss Havisham's grand mansion in his novel "Great Expectations." The novelist's summer home at Gads Hill Place will give visitors a glimpse into the vibrant life of young Charles Dickens, reflected in the house's decorations and the extraordinary collection of books and paintings that only his world could interpret.
Concluding our visit to the hometowns of famous English literary figures is the city of Canterbury, the birthplace of the renowned playwright and Shakespeare's greatest rival, Christopher Marlowe. Here, visitors will visit Canterbury Cathedral and St. Augustine's Abbey, considered the birthplace of Christianity in England. The Canterbury Cathedral complex, St. Martin's Church, and the ruins of the ancient St. Augustine's Abbey have been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Many historical remnants remain here, including a Roman-era wall and The King's School, possibly the oldest school in England. You should also visit the Roman Museum to see the precious mosaic floor tiles dating back to 300 BC. This city is one of the most visited destinations in the United Kingdom.
