Evesham Caravan Site

If you find yourself knocking about Evesham for a few days, a quick recce at the Almonry Museum and Tourist Information Centre (10 minutes' walk) should give you plenty of info about the town and its past. Here in the spring? The Blossom Trail (so-named for the sweet-smelling apple, pear and plum blooms that can be seen en route) also passes through the town, and there's a golf course 10 minutes away by car as well. In terms of history hunting, you could get out to Middle Littleton Tithe Barn (15 minutes), one of the oldest and largest such structures in England, or ramble around Ragley Hall, Park and Gardens (15 minutes), a 1000-acre estate with spectacular grounds (booking is required). If you've time to squeeze a few more sights into your itinerary, you could do far worse than a trip to Chipping Campden (20 minutes), a sleepy Cotswold town with honey-coloured houses that was once a hub for the wool trade. Worcester (30 minutes) isn't much further and opens up several more options, from Civil War heritage to modern art and its tangy trademark sauce.
