Stratford-upon-Avon is a historic market town in Warwickshire, and is best known for being the birthplace, sometime living place and burial place of British playwright and poet, William Shakespeare.
But not all of the town's tourist attractions are about The Bard- I popped into their Butterfly Farm, and it really was a delightful experience! Opened in 1985, by naturalist and botanist David Bellamy, the Butterfly Farm comprises of several zones, but the most spectacular part is their Rainforest Flight Area. Around 2,000 free-flying butterflies inhabit the farm, as well as iguanas, poison dart frogs and a spectacled caiman (that's a kind of alligator and no, he doesn't wear glasses!)
Come and take a walk in my shoes through the steamy tropical zone, around a pond filled with koi carp next to a sparkling waterfall. As well as nectar-heavy plants you will see Maya and Mesoamerican inspired statues and artefacts and, of course, a plethora of different coloured/ patterned butterflies, including my favourite Blue Morpho. This really is a happy place!
I have also blogged about the Butterfly Farm recently, link:-https://elainerockett.blogspot.com/2026/04/miss-elaineous-visits-stratford-upon.html
