Tucked away in Britain’s
principal fruit growing region, this ancient
market town stands on the banks of the River Avon
and is overlooked by a 110ft, 16th century bell
tower which, together with two churches and an
almonry, are all that remain of one of the
wealthiest monasteries in Britain. Southeast lies
the orchard-filled Vale of Evesham and the unique
‘Blossom Trail’ and ‘Vale Trail’. Just north of
the town is the site of the Battle of Evesham in
which Simon de Montfort was killed in 1265 by the
future Edward 1. |
