Travelling from Moor Street Railway Station in Birmingham city centre is possibly the easiest and quickest way to get to Stratford Upon Avon. The distance is 21 Miles (33.8 Km), and the journey takes approximately 55 minutes. There are a good number of pubs, restaurants, and cafés in the town, so finding a place to eat and drink isn’t hard.
There are three pubs that I have been into for lunch, and each one claims to be the oldest in Stratford Upon Avon, they are The Windmill, The Garrick, and The Old Thatch Tavern, I don’t know which one is the oldest, but all three date back to c1600.
