St Lawrence's Church, Evesham

The tower of St Lawrence's Church dominates Evesham's high street - a proper medieval landmark that's been watching over the town since the 14th century. Inside, it's worth spending twenty minutes or so taking in the stonework and stained glass, though it's not a showstopper in the way some cathedrals are. The church sits right in the heart of town, which makes it handy if you're already wandering round Evesham's market area.

It's the sort of place that appeals most to history buffs or anyone interested in church architecture. Families won't spend hours here, but if you've got kids who can manage a bit of wandering about without complaint, it's a decent stop. Free to visit, as these things usually are.

What makes St Lawrence's work well is its location as part of a broader Evesham explore - you can pop in whilst hitting the shops or grabbing a coffee. The church sits within easy reach of several caravan parks in the valley: Bredon-Vale is just over two miles out if you're camping locally, or there's Plum Tree Glamping a few miles further with their bell tents and wood-fired hot tub if you fancy something with a bit more comfort. The Springs and Bredon View options give you more choice depending on what suits your setup. On a half-day in town, pair the church with a walk along the Avon - that's where Evesham's actually rather lovely.
