Though orchard numbers have declined somewhat in recent decades, they still make a sufficient show of blossom in spring that they are touted as a minor tourist attraction. In the villages to the east of Evesham, such as Offenham and Badsey , there are growers specialising in Asparagus production. Every year there are asparagus auctions, notably at the historic Fleece Inn in Bretforton , which is now owned by the National Trust .

The Vale is served by the 150-year-old Cotswold Railway Line , originally known as the Oxford , Worcester and Wolverhampton , although this was satirised at the time of construction as the Old Worse and Worse, due to construction problems, including a riot at Mickleton on the edge of the Vale. The only existing stations are at Honeybourne and Evesham, and these are served by trains from Worcester and London .
