Three of Worcestershire's finest organisations have teamed up to create a stunning and memorable experience in the heart of the Vale of Evesham.

Organised parties are invited to join a Heart of England Tourist Board registered Vale of Evesham Tour Guide for a forty minute walking tour of historic Evesham.

The tour departs from Hampton Ferry, a fully operational hand drawn ferry placed at the end of Boat Lane by the monks of Evesham Abbey in the thirteenth century.  There is plenty of car and coach parking at Hampton Ferry.  Tea and coffee will be served before the tour begins.

The Tour ...

The tour will take us through the heart of the town past the Almonry Museum, 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 the Handsam Boat Company's Handsam Too, a sixty seat pleasure cruiser.  Sail 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.

The Award Winning Raphael's Restaurant 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.

... and finally ...

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, further details of this and other Evesham events area available on request.
