Evesham

Evesham is a bustling market town on the banks of the river Avon. Although attractive at any time of the year, Evesham and the surrounding rural area are at their best in Spring when the sights of fruit trees in blossom are evident wherever you journey. A scenic route known as the Blossom Trail has been routed around Evesham for the motorist to admire the most scenic and advantageous views of the blossom at its best.

The Avon at Evesham offers, fishing, boating holidays and much of the Avon is used for dinghy sailing and canoeing.

The town centre has many interesting buildings. In the market place stands the Round House, a 15th century timbered building and the Town Hall dating from 1586. The 14th century timbered building is the Almonry Museum, once part of the Abbey and now a museum of local history. The old town stocks with their roof is still preserved outside.

Evesham is approx 15 miles from Worcester, and if travelling from Birmingham the easiest way to get to Evesham is to exit the M5 motorway at Junction 7 and follow the A44 this road takes you all the way to Evesham.
