Evesham can be traced back to the eighth century, around the same time its Abbey was founded. Built on the spot where the Virgin Mary is believed to have appeared to a humble swineherd called Eoves, the abbey has an unmistakable atmosphere of intrigue. Surrounding Evesham is a host of villages, with something for everyone and if fortunate enough with the wind, you might find that you follow the Vale of Evesham Blossom Trail that will take in many of them. Starting at Evesham itself the Blossom Trail threads itself through scenic, historic villages, including Fladbury, The Lenches and around the impressive Bredon Hill, to the North of which is Elmley Castle. This really is a fairytale region with much to excite and inspire the balloon explorer, guaranteeing a memorable flight whichever direction the wind takes you. directionsCrown Meadow Evesham Worcestershire WR11 4SU From the north, go through Evesham Town centre.
