    Thanks for this magical tour. At 10:09 you say that Shakespeare died in 1666. That would have made him 102 years old. I think you meant to say 1616 which you did say earlier. My favourite School trip by far was our school trip to Stratford-upon-Avon. It was a Summer's day back in 1979/1980. We had a picnic next to the River Avon and, later that afternoon, took in a Shakespeare play at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. I was really surprised at being able to understand every word of the play (for a change). I haven't been back since but would very much like to.

    Actually the theatre behind you at 11.06 is the Swan Theatre rather than the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. It is all part of the RSC and was the original theatre before it was destroyed by fire. It was restored in the 1980s

    One of my many times great grandfathers, Richard Castle, was from Stratford-Upon-Avon, and he lived there during Shakespeare's lifetime. I sometimes wonder if the two men ever met or knew each other.

    Great tour, but I have just one question: What's with all the wisteria throughout the town? I am a folklorist of herbs and plants, and I'm curious if there is a reason for it, perhaps even a Shakespearean reference.
