Westcott Rise is located in the elegant market town of Pershore and set in the heart of the Vale of Evesham, just over 10 miles from the cathedral city of Worcester.

Pershore is surrounded by beautiful villages, tranquil countryside and woodland walks including the 185-acre Tiddesley Wood, which is said to date from the last Ice Age. The town is framed with elegant Georgian architecture and is known for its impressive medieval Abbey, Bredon Hill, and the charming River Avon that flows alongside the High Street.

A short walk from the town centre stands Pershore bridge, the only remaining monastic bridge over this stretch of the River Avon and the site of Civil War skirmishes – look closely to spot some remaining scars from the battle. Today, the bridge is a much more relaxing place to visit next to the beautiful river where you can watch the boats and barges and spot herons, cormorants, kingfishers, and more amazing wildlife. Pershore is so well-known for its historical attractions that the Council for British Archaeology included it in their list of 51 “Gem Towns” worthy of special consideration for historic preservation.
