Hotels in Evesham

Near the western fringe of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Evesham is a quintessential English riverside town that was one of the leading monastic centres in Europe for much of the Middle Ages.

The town is the home of the Evesham Arts Centre, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2009 and organises regular music performances, theatre events and other amateur and professional shows.

Evesham Abbey

This striking landmark was built more than 1,300 years ago, although, as you might expect, it has been altered on multiple occasions over the centuries, most notably after the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century. However, the abbey remains Evesham's defining landmark, and still contains its original 8th-century bell tower.

The Market Square

See the beautifully preserved 15th-century Merchant's House and, if you have the time, visit the town's fantastic Charter Market, which takes place every Saturday. In fact, a market has been held at this site since the mid-11th century, when the town received permission to host one by none other than King Edward.

Nearby: Broadway Tower

At 320 metres, the Broadwater Tower is the one of the highest point in the Cotswolds. It commands wonderful panoramic views over the lush countryside of Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, and, on days with very good visibility, thirteen other counties. The landmark, which is a folly and was built towards the end of the 18th century, was pioneered by the famous landscaper Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, who designed the grounds of many famous British stately homes.
