Wilmcote is a pretty village located close to Stratford Upon Avon. Wilmcote has two pubs that provide good food and is home to Mary Arden’s House (Shakespeare’s Mother). The area provides a wealth of beautiful walks and you can walk into Stratford along the canal path. The train from Stratford stops at our charming station where time seems to have stood still.
