On up the Stratford Avon - Saturday 13th April

Cruising on up the meandering Avon from Tewkesbury, Bredon Hill is ever present, sometimes in front, then behind or left or right as the river twists its way towards Pershore. The hill is topped by Parson's Folly, built by an 18th century eccentric so that he could stand a 1,000ft above sea level on a hill that was 991ft high.

 

Spent the night at Eckington Wharf next to the 400 year old sandstone bridge which has stood the test of time and floods and still carries road traffic.
