Nestled beneath the Cotswold outlier Bredon Hill, Ashton is a beautiful village. Its streets are adorned with gorgeous timber-framed thatched and stone buildings, some typical of the Vale of Evesham, others more in keeping with the nearby Cotswolds.

The main attraction for hikers is undoubtedly Bredon Hill. Rising in isolation to 981 feet (299 m) above the Vale of Evesham, it is as if the main Cotswold family forgot one of their relatives, leaving it stranded to the north. There are panoramic views from the summit.
