The more traditional view of Anne Hathaway's Cottage, Shottery.
This is the opposite side to the view shown above. The picture above was taken from within the trees visible at the back of this picture. |

A short distance from the cottage, the Shottery Brook forms a large pond. It is surrounded by reeds and overhung by willows. Native lilies, a Renaissance symbol of death and rebirth, float in the centre.
It is claimed that the floating lilies in this pool were the origin of the image of Ophelia in Hamlet. |
