Bus Pass Bandit: Part Forty Two - EVESHAM (continued)

For Episode 42 of his Bus Pass Travels, the Bandit returns to Evesham on a cold Saturday in January...

The famous Bell Tower is on the site of Evesham Abbey, once one of the most important abbeys in the country.

There is a very interesting museum in the Almonry.

Then back to the Red Lion, an old favourite, for a couple of ciders.

On offer is Hogans Wild Elder cider and Avon Ridge Farm medium dry.

The next stop is the Trumpet Inn.

In a Hook Norton pub it has to be Old Hooky.

Nearby is Ye Olde Red Horse.

Their Ancient Warrior cider is accompanied by a Blondie video from 1980 - 'The Tide Is High' indeed!

And finally to the BCM Craft Ale Bar, off Bridge Street.

And some excellent Cosmic Santa Stout.
