Mary Arden's Farm
Mary Arden's Farm (Station Road, Wilmcote, Stratford-upon-Avon, CV37 9UN) is the childhood home of Mary Arden, who was the mother of the famous English poet and playwright, Shakespeare. This real working Tudor farm is open to the public, allowing visitors to step back in time to 1570s England and take part in some of the daily activities. These include basket-weaving, bread-making and tending to the animals, some of which are rare breeds, all under the guidance of actors dressed in traditional Tudor clothing. Throughout the year, the farm hosts Tudor weekends, which include music, dancing and cooking.
Ty Mawr Wymbrant
Ty Mawr Wymbrant (Penmachno, Betws-y-Coed, Conwy, LL25 0HJ) is a traditional stone-built 16th Century farm house located in the Conwy Valley in Wales. It is the birthplace of Bishop William Morgan, who was the first person to translate the Bible into Welsh. As well as discovering how people lived without the comforts we take for granted today, visitors can also explore a collection of bibles in more than 100 languages in the exhibition room, take a walk down a woodland animal trail and listen to introductory talks.
