Evesham Guide

Evesham's cottages with hot tubs offer a perfect base for exploring this historic market town in Worcestershire's Vale of Evesham. The area is famous for its fruit and vegetable growing, particularly asparagus which has its own festival each spring.

Trip Advisor's top attractions include The Almonry Museum (4.5/5), Abbey Park (4.5/5) and the Bell Tower (4/5). The town sits on a horseshoe bend of the River Avon, providing gorgeous walks and boat trips in summer months.

Evesham has a dark history - the Battle of Evesham in 1265 saw Simon de Montfort killed and mutilated by royal forces. His remains are thought to be buried somewhere beneath the town.

Cottage options range from converted barns with hot tubs perfect for couples to large group accommodations sleeping 10+ with private gardens. Many offer ground floor bedrooms for accessibility and enclosed gardens for those bringing dogs.

Sightseeing

Evesham sits in a fruit-growing region nicknamed "The Garden of England of the Midlands" and there's loads to see. The town centre has kept its medieval layout with narrow streets and historic buildings. I recommend starting at Abbey Park (WR11 4SU, open daily) where you'll find the Bell Tower - the only remaining part of Evesham Abbey which was destroyed in 1540.

The Almonry Museum (WR11 4BG, open Tues-Sun 10am-4:30pm, £5 adults) is housed in a 14th-century building and scores 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor. It tells Evesham's story through 12 rooms of exhibits.

For garden fans, the National Trust's Hidcote Manor Garden is just 12 miles away (GL55 6LR, 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor). We think it's worth the short drive to see one of Britain's most influential Arts and Crafts gardens.

Broadway Tower (WR12 7LB) stands on a beacon hill and on a clear day you can see 16 counties from its viewing platform. It gets 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor and costs £6 per adult.

Pet Friendly

Many Evesham cottages welcome dogs and the area is brilliant for pet owners. Abbey Park has wide open spaces for dogs to run, though they need to be on leads near the play areas. The Avon riverside walks are perfect for morning and evening strolls with your dog.

The Round of Gras pub (WR11 8QH) welcomes dogs in the bar area and garden, even providing water bowls and treats. They do good Sunday roasts too!

If you're staying in a hot tub cottage with your dog, remember to bring their bed and familiar toys. Most cottages ask that dogs stay off furniture and definitely out of the hot tub!

Evesham Country Park (WR11 4TP) has woodland walks where dogs can explore off-lead in designated areas. The on-site garden centre even allows well-behaved dogs inside.

Top 3 attractions you have to see in Evesham

1. Evesham Abbey Bell Tower (WR11 4SU) - This 16th-century tower is the last remaining bit of the once-mighty Evesham Abbey. It's 110 feet tall and dominates the town skyline. The surrounding gardens are beautiful in spring and summer. One visitor wrote: "Fascinating piece of history with information boards explaining the tower's significance. The gardens around it are lovely for a picnic."

2. The Valley Evesham (WR11 4TP) - This shopping and leisure destination has independent shops, cafes and a large garden centre. There's a miniature railway that kids love and pleasant riverside walks. A recent TripAdvisor review said: "Not just shopping but a day out with the railway and walks. The garden centre is one of the best I've visited."

3. Evesham Arts Centre (WR11 4QH) - This volunteer-run venue hosts comedy, music and theatre throughout the year. It's surprisingly good for a small town, attracting some well-known performers. Check their website before your trip as having tickets to an evening show means you can enjoy your cottage hot tub during the day then head out for entertainment.

When is the best time to visit Evesham?

Late April to June is fantastic when the Vale of Evesham is in blossom and the asparagus season is in full swing. The Asparagus Festival runs from April to June. August brings the Evesham River Festival with boat parades and fireworks - perfect if you're staying in a riverside cottage with a hot tub.

The Blossom Trail is a 40-mile driving route but includes many walking sections through orchards and villages. For a shorter option, try the Abbey Park circular walk (2 miles) which follows the River Avon and passes the Bell Tower.

Where can I eat local produce in Evesham?

The Evesham Hotel restaurant (WR11 4EJ) uses local asparagus, plums and other Vale produce when in season. For farm shops, Wayside Farm Shop (WR11 7QE) sells fresh local vegetables, meats and has a good cafe.

Can I go boating on the River Avon?

Yes! Evesham Boat Hire (WR11 4BP) rents motor boats and rowing boats from April to October. No license needed and it's a great way to see the town from a different angle before returning to your hot tub cottage.

Is Evesham good for cycling?

The Vale of Evesham has gentle terrain perfect for casual cyclists. The Evesham to Pershore cycle route follows quiet roads for 6 miles. Some cottages provide bike storage - worth checking when booking.
