FamxplorShakespeare's New Place
What to expect
Shakespeare's New Place was the family home of William Shakespeare from 1597 until his death in 1616. The house was the largest in the borough, with ten hearths and a courtyard. Although the original house was demolished in 1759, the site has been beautifully restored to reflect the scale and layout of the original building. Visitors can walk in Shakespeare's footsteps and explore the gardens, which feature sculptures inspired by his writing. The site also includes a Great Garden, with a restored Knot Garden based on designs from Shakespeare's time. The place is a great spot for families to learn about Shakespeare's life and works in a tranquil and beautiful setting
