We had a great time visiting the site of Shakespeare's final home. Unfortunately, later owners abused the privilege, so we only have the garden & grounds to see. And they are impressive, including the statuary based on his plays. Volunteers definitely help with the visit & they do a good job of explaining the twists & turns of the site's history. Worth a look for an hour or so . . .

The garden was beautiful and the guides were very friendly. The site itself is a mime house with no mime. If you've paid for the story tour, it's worth a visit for the garden and a couple stories if you have nothing else to do. For the most part the stories are like this, "Shakespeare's table might have been right about there.".

Been to Stratford many times but never to this location Beautiful gardens. Very interesting and informative introduction. Well thought out in terms of all the links Highly recommend to do as part of the whole ‘Bill’ experience

New Place doesn't exist anymore. Instead, you wander around beautiful gardens where the house once stood with the support of knowledgeable guides. The story about why the house no longer stands is interesting in itself. Nash's House has a small exhibition. If you get the 3 house ticket then it's worth an hour or so of your time if the weather is good.

We bought the Shakespeare Story Ticket so had entry to New Place included along with Shakespeare’s Birthplace and Anne Hathaway’s Cottage. This meant we weren’t too disappointed with New Pace. The volunteers made the place, without them putting things in context I don’t think we would have benefited as much from our visit. New Place House obviously doesn’t stand anymore and you wander around a lovely garden and sculpture trail and use your imagination. The volunteers told us about archeological work carried out recently at the site and it feels sad that more was not made of this at the site. Worth a wander

Shakespeare's Birthplace and Anne Hathaway's cottage are the big draws but New Place is also definitely worth seeing. It's included with the Shakespeare's Story Ticket which gives you entry to all three places for £25 or half that if you have a Gardener's World 2 for 1 card. The actual "New Place" building has long gone so what you are seeing is the site where it once stood which is now a lovely garden area. The history is explained by the guides and they help you to get orientated. It is best to listen to the talk by one of the guides when you first go in at the gate as they'll show you the original layout so you'll get more out of your visit than just wandering around.

Included as part of the Shakespeare’s story ticket, which gives you access to Anne Hathaway’s cottage, and Shakespeare’s birthplace. You can revisit in 12 months free of charge if you wish to do so. Shakespeare’s new place is a five minute walk from Shakespeare’s birthplace, which is located in the town centre. There is parking facilities available opposite however, this may be limited during busy periods There is a talk from staff, which happens after every half an hour, I believe? You visit the exhibition, which takes no more than 10 minutes. I personally didn’t enjoy this experience, because there wasn’t much to see, however, visited due to the ticket access

We visited Shakespeare New Place in Autumn, but to get the most from the attraction I’d advise to you visit in the spring or summer to make the most of the garden. New place no longer stands, instead it is laid to courtyard and formal gardens, best appreciated in fine weather. However, you can visit Thomas Nash’s Tudor house adjoining, that was occupied by Shakespeare daughter. The guides are very well versed in Shakespearean history, and they make the visit. For best value buy your ticket as part of the Shakespeare Story for £25
