Plum Tree Glamping

If you’re after outdoorsy fun, you’re in the right place. Get into an active frame of mind with Saturday park runs in Evesham (15 minutes’ drive), or swim a few lengths at Evesham Leisure Centre (a handy option for rainy days). There’s fishing and an 18-hole golf course within 10 minutes’ drive, and of course you have all the hiking and cycling paths of the Cotswolds to choose from. Georgian Pershore (15 minutes) offers foodie shops and an ancient abbey, while there are historic docks at Gloucester (50 minutes) to explore, or smart boutiques and racing at Regency-era Cheltenham (40 minutes). Worcester has a cathedral with lovely stained glass and a medieval library, and you can wander cobbled streets amid half-timbered buildings in riverside Stratford-on-Avon (both half an hour), home of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Big-hitting Cotswolds attractions include the formal gardens and costume exhibitions at Sudeley Castle and Gardens (half an hour), and chances are the whole family will enjoy seeing rare horse breeds or bottle-feeding lambs (in season) at Adam Henson’s Cotswold Farm Park (35 minutes).
