EVESHAM BLOSSOM TRAIL

We travel to the charming historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon. The afternoon is free to explore this picturesque town, known for its timber-framed buildings and rich cultural heritage. Take the opportunity to wander its streets, soak in the history and perhaps visit some of the Shakespeare properties.

Today we set off from our hotel and embark on a guided coach tour through the spectacular Evesham Blossom Trail, celebrated for over 40 years as one of spring's greatest wonders. We begin at Evesham Valley Country Park and follow the route through the Vale of Evesham and surrounding areas, where some of the country's most productive horticultural land is alive with breathtaking displays of plum, pear and apple blossom. We stop in the Cotswolds town of Broadway, renowned for one of the longest high streets in England, offering a chance to explore and enjoy lunch.

Today we leave our hotel for a visit to stunning Batsford Arboretum, home to a unique collection of some of the world’s most beautiful and rare trees, shrubs and bamboos spread across 60 acres. Enjoy spectacular Japanese flowering cherries amongst others.
