About the Area for SilverDoor Serviced Apartments in Evesham

Evesham is a rural market town in Worcestershire, UK in the Local Authority District of Wychavon. Roughly equidistant between Worcester, Cheltenham, and Stratford-upon-Avon, it was originally built within a loop of the River Avon, which flows through the Vale of Evesham.

The region, well known for its fruit and vegetable growing (especially asparagus) since medieval times, can be enjoyed seasonally throughout the year and in spring there are dazzling displays of blossoms from the many acres of plum and apple trees.

A major attraction is the River Avon, with very popular recreational areas offering something for everyone from fishing to walking to boating. Abbey Park with its Victorian bandstand offers you music on Sunday afternoons from June to September, where you can sit back and soak in the tranquil atmosphere of a lazy sunny afternoon.

Find out about the town's traditional roots by visiting the Bell Tower, the only major remaining building of the once great abbey, knocked down after Henry VIII closed the monasteries in 1540. No visit is complete without a visit to The Heritage Centre at The Almonry, this 14th century building, once the home of the Abbey's Almoner, houses a wealth of information and artifacts, documenting such important happenings as the history of the great Abbey and the defeat of Baron Simon de Montfort at the Battle of Evesham in 1265.
