Overview

This is a multi-transport walk, involving two foot ferries and a train.  Starting at Evesham, it passes the Abbey and makes use of the first ferry.  At lunch time, it passes through Fladbury, where a second ferry is to be found (TBC), and where the village's annual walkabout open day will be taking place.  Following lunch, the walk continues to Pershore, where there is an opportunity to visit the Sugar N' Spice tearooms.  A brisk walk to the railway station then provides the route back to Evesham by train.  The walk is mostly flat and has no steep hills.
