Travel Information and nearby accommodation

The town of Evesham straddles the River Avon, and on the banks of the river are the extensive ruins of Evesham Abbey, a Benedictine house founded about 701AD. The abbey was, in a roundabout way, responsible for the name of Evesham. It seems that, Eoves, a herdsman of the Bishop of Worcester, had a vision of the Virgin Mary at this spot. It was Eoves' vision that prompted the building of the abbey, and the herdsman's name is immortalized in the name of the abbey and the town that grew up around it. more details ...
