Spring is here and the Vale of Evesham, known for its apple, pear and plum orchards, is an ideal place to visit at this time of year. From late March to early May, the roadside views are full of colour. Enjoy a 2-hour guided tour of the 30-mile Blossom Trail stopping along the way at various farms and cafes. You’ll also experience "Archers" country and, once again, a guided tour takes in Hanbury and Inkberrow, places on which the famous Radio 4 drama is based.

DAY TWO - Evesham Blossom Trail & “The Archers” Country Tour

 

Today we meet our local guide in Evesham for a tour of the fabulous Blossom trail; we start at the tiny town of Pershore, famous for the Pershore Yellow Egg Plum, before continuing through Fladbury & The Lenches.  We then enjoy a guided tour of “The Archers” country taking in Hanbury and Inkberrow, famous in the Radio 4 drama.

 

DAY THREE – Tewkesbury

 

Our excursion today takes us to the medieval town of Tewkesbury with its picturesque riverside setting.  You could visit ‘Out of the Hat’, an exquisite example of a 17th century home and shop that now houses a heritage centre or take a stroll along Church Street, lined with half-timbered houses and punctuated with Tewkesbury’s famous alleyways before making our way to the beautiful 12th century Norman-built Tewkesbury Abbey, built to house Benedictine monks in 1211.  Enjoy lunch at leisure in Tewkesbury before we make our way to the beautiful city of Gloucester, here you can enjoy free time to wander around its glorious medieval cathedral which was used as Hogwarts in most of the hugely successful Harry Potter films.
