Went to look round Mary Ardens house. The farmhouse formerly attributed as the one she lived in, is in fact too new, and she lived in the house next door, which the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust also own and is part of the tour.
Left Wilmcote to get to Wooten Wawen for a late lunch. When the only lock on the way came into view we could see that there were already two boats waiting, so we hung around the end of the Bearly aqueduct for a while. We had been under this on our return by train from Birmingham on Sunday.
Moored in the basin at Wooton Wawen and went to the Navigation to eat. Then we walked to the Village of Wooton past the hall, and found the other pub, which looks much more interesting from the outside.
At the first lock in the afternoon at Preston Bagot there was another queue of two boats. Due to this delay we moored two locks down from Lowsonford to avoid the risk of having to do another three.
Went to the Fleur de Lys to eat, where I had one of their famous pies.
