Jarrold Pathfinder 33 - Shakespeare Country, Vale of Evesham & The Cotswolds
ISBN: 0-7117-0994-7
The area covered by this guide encompasses all the scenic features that are generally considered to be traditionally English. It is a landscape characterised by gently rolling hills, wide and verdant river valleys, wooded tracts, small market towns and, above all, an abundance of exceptionally attractive villages mainly timber-framed and built of brick in Shakespeare Country and the Vale of Evesham, stone-built in the Cotswolds with most of them featuring thatched cottages, medieval churches and fine old pubs.
The walks in this guide incorporate historic highlights such as Coughton Court, connected with the Gunpowder Plot, Wroxton Abbey and Charlecote Park landscaped by 'Capability' Brown and allegedly where Shakespeare was once caught poaching.
Several routes offer grand views across the Windrush valley, south Warwickshire or Vale of Evesham, and there are opportunities to explore the heart of Shakespeare Country, including Stratford-upon-Avon, as well attractive villages such as Broadway, Windrush, Bourton-on-the-Water, Welford-on-Avon and Moreton-on-the-Marsh.
