Enjoy a cruise aboard on one of the traditional Edwardian passenger launches. You will cruise downstream past the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and Holy Trinity Church (the site of Shakespeare's tomb) before turning around and passing under the 15th century Clopton Bridge. Once through the bridge, the scenery changes as you carry on upstream and discover quiet river-banks and meadows with glimpses of large secluded houses and beautiful river-side gardens.
