Places to stay in Bidford on Avon
Bidford on Avon village is, as its name suggests, situated on the River
Avon, some 7 miles (11 km) downstream of Stratford upon Avon and about
the same distance upstream of Evesham. The village has a magnificent bridge
crossing the river that was built by monks 600 years ago. There are many
more activities and an interest in the Parish of Bidford, such as lovely
walks by the riverside and further into the country if you wish.
There is a very active canoe club linked with the Youth Club that has
its very own skate park. Infact Shakespeare is said to have taken part
in a drinking competition between Stratford and Bidford. The Bidford team
quickly outdrank the Stratford team and Shakespeare refused to be involved
in a return match the following day.
