We stayed in our caravan on a site by the river at Wyre Piddle, run by a very nice couple who have recently taken over. 20 min walk into Pershore which is a very nice little town with individual shops and coffee shops. The village itself has a nice pub (The Anchor) with excellent food and tables overlooking the river, would be lovely in the summer. There was mud everywhere due to the wet weather. Plenty to do in the area and would highly recommend.

A historical building serving the local community for many centuries, currently serving a fine selection of real ales and the expected lagers, wines and spirits. Meals are served week day evenings and afternoons at the weekends. Enjoy a casual drink in the bar or a slightly more refined atmosphere in the lounge, with the courtyard offering a secure outside area. A large car park and garden support the activity in the function room.

Bright, clean and airy if basic decor to this local. Booked ahead due to the pandemic. Great Steak and Chips and the two real ales were excellent condition. Friendly staff.
3. Evesham Bell Tower

Reviewed By Bloke1947 - Worcester, United Kingdom
I wrote a review about the bell tower following its major make over from top to bottom and it looked great, however I was critical of the railings around the bottom which were rusty and bent and looked awful. Apparently they had run out of funds. But now that has been rectified and the railings have been sorted out and it looks really good. The Abbey Gardens through the archway set it off , well done to everyone. One very slight criticism is that pigeons are being allowed to nest in the archway thus leaving a horrible mess . It wouldn’t take much to resolve this problem.
4. St Lawrence's Church
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 52 reviews
St Lawrence’s is full of activities for the whole family, taking you on a journey of historical discovery. Let your curiosity lead you to open boxes of treasures, wear a bishop’s mitre, peek around corners, try out the pulpit and summon ethereal music. Nestled in the heart of Evesham’s historic centre, St Lawrence’s Church is part of a triptych of stunning architectural buildings, alongside the parish church of All Saints and the great perpendicular bell tower of the abbey. The church - of Norman foundation but largely rebuilt in the 18th century - is imposing from the outside, displaying a great six-light window with elaborate tracery. Once you step inside the true extent of detailed craftwork is revealed. Coloured light reflects throughout the chancel from the breath-taking stained glass windows that dominate the east wall. Depicting the last supper and the resurrection, they were designed by some of the most celebrated stained glass artists of the last 150 years. Discover the intricately patterned fan vaulted ceiling of the 16th-century chapel of St Clement. This beautiful space has richly panelled arches and houses a simple and elegant 15th-century font. Tours available.

Located in town, near the Bell tower and Abbey park. This historical church is no longer used. It does have some amazingly beautiful stained glass windows.

This ornate and huge war memorial overlooks the park and river below, so is well suited in a quiet part of town and close to the bell tower and two churches. There are a lot of makes on it which is a sobering thought to the amount of casualties in both wars. Worth a visit
