Prince Charles visits New Place in Stratford-upon-Avon

To celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death, Prince Charles visited 'New Place' in Stratford-upon-Avon this weekend to get a first glimpse of the former home of Shakespeare, which has undergone a spectacular transformation.

Scheduled to re-open to the public in July, this unique site is being transformed into a major new heritage landmark where visitors will be able to walk in Shakespeare’s footsteps through a new threshold on the site of his gatehouse and trace the footprint of his family home in a contemporary landscape setting with planting design by Gillespies.
