About

Wychavon is a local government district in Worcestershire, within the West Midlands region. It contains towns including Evesham, Droitwich Spa, Pershore and Broadway, and much of the low-lying Vale of Evesham where the River Avon threads through orchards and market gardens. The district reaches the lower edges of the Cotswold hills to the south and mixes arable farmland with smaller pockets of woodland and parkland. Settlement pattern is a mix of market towns and villages built around historic churches, market squares and former abbey sites.

Local economy still relies on horticulture and food production from the Vale, alongside light industry and visitor services. Droitwich Spa records of brine springs and its historic saltworks remain part of the town’s identity, while Pershore Abbey and Evesham’s medieval records reflect long-standing religious and civic roles. Country houses and parks appear across the district, and conservation of orchards and river corridors is an ongoing local priority.
