Best Answer

They used boats and horses and horse drawn carriages, but most peasants traveled on foot.

Horse and carriages were principally used by the richer people of London. They were very useful when it was wet and windy. Traveling by carriage was not the first option for a man as it was considered unmanly. The downside was that they were very slow, clumsy and usually got stuck in traffic jams.

Most peasants travelled on foot if they were not wealthy enough to use horses or boats. They would usually wear leather sandals or go in bare feet. The roads were very muddy and people usually got infections because of the human waste that was deposited onto the roads. It was considered shameful for wealthy people to travel by foot.

No. Shakespeare lived on the 16th and 17th century. The very first car was made at the end of the 17th century, but cars like we know them didn't become common before approximately the 1900s.
