Abbey Manor is steeped in history and set in forty acres of beautiful
mature park land adjoining the historic site of the battle of Evesham
in 1265. An obelisk in the grounds commemorates the battle and those
who fell. There is a folly known as the Leicester Tower erected in
memory of Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, and various medieval
artefacts can be seen in the house and grounds. Abbey manor is situated on the edge of the Cotswolds with extensive views over the River Avon to the Malvern Hills and beyond. It is just 100 miles from London, 14 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon and 12 miles from the M5 motorway. Bring wellies in damp weather for a full walk round the grounds: Along the way you will see a small lake of lillies which is being restored and pass monastic relics including abbotts' tombs and an intricate seat of medieval stonework. Until recently this was a neglected, uncared for sleeping beauty: Now it is a hauntingly beautiful 30 acres of woodland, historic relics, mature trees and lush grassland. Allow a little time to peruse through the 'before and after' photographs and scrap books which John and Jill have put together. The whole is a treat not to be missed! |
