Evesham
Evesham is set on the banks of the River Avon. The busy and ancient market town has a rich religious past and once had one of the wealthiest monastery’s in the land, nowadays only the Almonry remains and houses the Tourist Information Centre. However, the Abbots left a lasting mark by founding much of the fruit growing and market gardening that continues in and around the town today.
The Vale of Evesham is renowned for good quality fruit and vegetables, particularly asparagus and plums. In the spring the fruit trees in blossom are a beautiful sight, go on the ‘Blossom Trail’ and you’ll go through some of the prettiest spring landscapes you’ll see anywhere.
