Pershore
Pershore is a lovely and historic market town on the River Avon in Worcestershire, close to the Vale of Evesham and just over 9 miles southeast of the county town of Worcester. The High Street is the jewel in the crown for the town, with rows of listed buildings and independent shops.
This pretty rural area is also conveniently placed for Birmingham and the M5, so a new home here will appeal to those who commute for work and to families who want to be close to the countryside as well as having easy access to the city. Pershore is on the route into the Cotswolds via Evesham, Broadway and Moreton-in-Marsh. It’s also within reach of two classic and famous towns; Cheltenham just over the border in Gloucestershire, and Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire. It’s a wonderful place to call home.
