About Eckington and Worcestershire

The thriving village of Eckington lies in a loop in the River Avon in beautiful countryside of the Vale of Evesham in southern Worcestershire, close to the border with Gloucestershire. The village boasts two lovely country pubs, a well-stocked shop and numerous lovely walks in all directions with the Wychavon Way and Millenium Way both passing close by. The riverside town of Pershore boasts a magnificent Norman Abbey, Georgian architecture and a good range of shops and eateries. The surrounding countryside is famous for fruit growing and market gardening, whilst just south of the village is Bredon Hill, providing home to the remains of an Iron Age Hill Fort, as well as Roman earthworks and a number of ancient standing stones. The pretty country town of Upton upon Severn lies on the banks of the River Severn and boasts a variety of delightful 17th century buildings and attractive shops, including 'The Pudding Shop', along with traditional inns, cafes and its very own museum. It also plays host to many annual festivals, including Jazz, Folk and Blues Festivals, as well as the Sunshine Music Festival. This thriving small town has its own marina, a vineyard and well-stocked farm shop at the local fruit farm, plus the town’s medieval church, which is now a Heritage Centre, is topped by a striking 18th century cupola, known locally as 'The Pepperpot'.
