William Shakespeare knew a fair bit about romance and the timeless international appeal of his work is captured in a corner of the country known as Shakespeare’s England. Blessed with history, culture and beauty, it offers plenty of inspiration for a romantic getaway. How about a performance by the Royal Shakespeare Company, a stroll hand-in-hand through picturesque market towns and quaint villages, dinner in an award-winning restaurant and, the centrepiece – Anne Hathaway’s cottage and gardens, where it’s all-too easy to picture the ‘Great Bard’ courting his future wife?
