A Georgian Mansion House, built in 1784, the hostel was bought by the YHA in 1947 for the princely sum of £1,500 from the British Steel Corporation who used the house in the second World War 1939-1945. This was due in large part to a very generous donation from a Mr Thomas Wilson of Manchester.
Manager recommends: Have a day trip to Warwick Castle - the best medieval castle experience in the UK, if not the world! Meet Henry VIII in the Great Hall, delve into the castle dungeons and see the castle birds of prey take flight at this exciting blast from the past experience. YHA Stratford-upon-Avon is great for both educational visits and family holidays. Believed to be the oldest pub in the town, the timber framed building housing The Garrick Inn dates back to the 1400s. One can only wonder if Shakespeare ever supped here! Pop in for a pint.
