Pershore

Pretty Pershore is on the banks of the River Avon and is one of Worcestershire's famous market towns. The town grew up around its 7th century Abbey, which was heavily rebuilt in Norman times, despite much demolition during Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries a large part of it still survives today.

This mainly Georgian town with its wide main street, where many of the houses have elaborate doorways and cast-iron balconies.  

Pershore has regular markets where local produce is still bought and sold.  The town is famous as a centre for fresh produce especially plums , the annual harvest is celebrated at the Plum Festival held in August.
