The tour will take us through the heart of the town passed the Almonry Heritage Centre, The Market Square, The Town Hall, Saint Lawrances Church, All Saints Church, The Bell Tower and the beautiful Abbey Park.

From Abbey Park, we join one of our pleasure boat partners for a river cruise along Shakespeare's Avon for a thirty minute ride back to Hampton Ferry for lunch, High Tea or an evening meal at Raphael's Restaurant.

Raphael's is a modern, pleasant building with full bar facilities overlooking the River Avon.  Tables will be reserved for parties on the tour and a choice of menus are available to suit your tastes and the time of day you take the tour.

From Hampton Ferry you are free to explore or revisit any part of the town.  Tickets for the Almonry Museum and Heritage Centre can be reserved in advance when the tour is booked.  You may like to visit Evesham during the Spring and experience the Blossom Trail or in the Autumn when our fruit harvest is at its best.
