Following on from The Battle of Evesham Medieval Festival the preceding weekend, the walk will follow the 5 mile around Evesham walk including Battle of Evesham sites and the 1.5 mile spur to the Leicester Tower,  Obelisk and ice pond.  Sarah W will be assisting on the walk.

Bring snacks and drinks for a midway stop with beautiful views (weather permitting!).
