The Gardens
The West Wing stands in its own garden within the grounds of Abbey Manor Park amounting to around 30 acres of wood and parkland. Set above the town of Evesham it provides a delightful vista, through majestic trees over grazing pastureland. Within the gardens is a delightful walk along stone edged paths, mature rose covered arches, past monastic relics beside manicured lawns with a tranquil lake, an enclosed hard tennis court and a thatched root house.

Things to do
The West Wing Abbey Manor is the ideal place from which to explore the Cotswolds or travel to the Malvern Hills, Cheltenham, Warwick Castle and Stratford on Avon. The picturesque villages of Broadway, Chipping Campden, Winchcombe and Stow on the Wold are close by.
Within easy reach are places of interest such as the castles and houses of Warwick, Sudeley, Blenheim Palace and Eastnor and the tranquil gardens of Hidcote, Kiftsgate, Sezincote, Batsford and Westonbirt Arboretum.
The Vale of Evesham is renowned for its fertile soil and a long history of fruit and vegetable growing and is known as the ‘Gardens of England’. Evesham, located on the River Avon that winds through the town, retains the charm of a traditional market town. Here you can shop for gifts or essentials or relax with a quiet riverside walk.
Bring wellies in damp weather for a full walk around the grounds with John and Jill. Along the way you will see a small lake of lilies and pass monastic relics including a Saxon Abbots tomb and an intricate seat of medieval stonework. Until recently this was an overgrown and neglected sleeping beauty, now it is a hauntingly beautiful forty acres of woodland, historic relics, mature trees and lush grassland. A hard tennis court is available for the more energetic guests. Also allow a little time to peruse through the before and after photographs and scrap book which they have put together. The whole is a treat not to be missed.
For those of a more energetic mind the area offers excellent walking and horse riding routes with well marked footpaths and bridleways, throughout the area, around Bredon Hill and the renowned Cotswold Way, which can be joined in the picturesque Cotswold village of Broadway.
There are several established and challenging golf clubs with Evesham Golf Club at Fladbury, 'The Vale' Golf Club at Bishampton and also Broadway Golf Club.

Leicester's Tower
The Battle of Evesham in 1265 was fought over the parkland which now belongs to Abbey Manor. Simon de Montfort, The Earl of Leicester was killed in the battle in 1265 and in 1842 the Rudge family built the Leicester Tower in his memory and this can be seen from the house. In 1845 they erected the Obelisk in the woods to commemorate the battle.
