About Evesham

Being located in the flood plain of the River Avon the area is well suited to market gardening and the town is famous for its fruit and veg, particularly its asparagus, known by the locals as 'gras'. However, being in a flood plain and being located in a meander of the River Avon, the town is prone to flooding and those from 2007 were the more severe recorded floods. The town was founded around an 8th-century abbey which was mostly destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries and today only a bell tower remains.
