Often referred to as Pershore Meadows, Avon Meadows Community Wetland was created in the wake of the devastating floods of 2007 in order to reduce the impact of future flooding events.

Nestled on the banks of the River Avon, this nature reserve is a glorious place for lovers of wildlife. An array of footpaths and boardwalks allow you to get close to the action.

There is no parking in the winter months, as the area is often under water.

Hiking

By far the highlight of this section of the Wychavon Way. Very pleasant place, but it is on the flood plain and so is not accessible when the Avon is in flood.
