After a light brunch at The Food of Love, we walked towards River Avon, where the town is.
We passed by the High Street and walked over to the garden area where River Avon was. Pictured above is the River Avon with the Holy Trinity Church located at the far end of the river. There can be no doubt that the beautiful river has played its part in inspiring the greatest poet of all time, William Shakespeare. It was a lively scene where the locals and tourists could enjoy various boating and strolling activities. We took a walk along the River Avon. It was a peaceful and scenic walk alongside with the weeping willows.
In the same area we also visited the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. The theatre is currently under redevelopment. The Transformation Project includes a new Riverside Cafe and Rooftop Restaurant and a 36-metre observation tower. For more information about the theatre and performances, visit their website.
In the park close to the theatre, we also watched a street performer perform various magic tricks, comedy and fire eating. It was a very entertaining experience and a very relaxing day in the park!
While waiting for our train back to Birmingham, we decided to stop by Go Youg for a light bite. It is a tiny little café located in Shrieves Walk, a rather hidden area in the middle of the town.
We had an energizer fruit juice priced at £2.95. The fresh juice consisted of apple, orange, carrot and beetroot. It was very light and refreshing, a perfect drink during summer to quench our thirst!
Since Go Youg is well known for their frozen yogurt, we decided to give it a try. They offered a variety of flavours for frozen yogurt, ranging from vanilla and chocolate chip to Jamaican rum and raisin. We decided to try their Go Youg Treat priced at £1.99 for a small cup. Go Youg Treat was a blend of mango, raspberry and blueberry. The frozen yogurt was fresh and fruity, light and slightly sour. It was good to the last bite, and left us craving for more!
Other than frozen yogurt and fresh fruit juices, Go Youg also offers a variety of salad and sandwiches. Check out their website for their full menu and directions to the café. Service was quite good as well. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Stratford-upon-Avon!
