So much to see, do, eat and drink ! The list is endless. However, personally feel, not much for clothes shopping but there are a few boutique clothes shops. Maybird Centre is retail park, with the usual well known stores. Better shopping in Leamington Spa (20 min) or Birmingham (40min) .

Neighbourhoods
Stratford Upon Avon, is quite safe, most people are just out enjoying themselves. Busiest place is Bell Court where there are a few bars and restaurants. Its a chilled out place, lots to see and do if you want to do the tourist stuff. Its great for its eateries and bars... not so great for shopping. Lovely walk alongside the river where there are a few restaurants, pubs, park and boat rides.
