The River Avon provides the ideal setting for much river activity.
There are plenty of public moorings in Evesham and supplies can be obtained from marinas in the town. There are footpaths along the banks of the river, making for an enjoyable interlude away from the bustle of the town. From Easter to Autumn the River Avon and it's scenery are continually changing, no two trips are the same. You may be fortunate and see a Kingfisher flash past or a Heron standing motionless of the bank.
Enjoy a relaxing boat trip along the River Avon from Evesham Town Centre on board the 60
seater "
The Handsom Too". The boat has a fixed roof and side screens and trips range from 25 minutes to 45 minutes and can also be hired for longer evening trips and parties although there are no catering facilities. There is also a choice of motor or rowing boats for hire so you can be your own Captain for the day!
