Anne Hathaway’s Cottage

Anne Hathaway’s Cottage was the childhood home of Shakespeare’s future wife and has stood for over 500 years. 

Although it has been extended over time, many original features remain. Inside, visitors can see authentic period furniture, including the famous Hathaway bed, and explore the stories of the Hathaway family, who lived here across 13 generations.
