VISITORS are being urged to visit a newly reopened National Trust Tithe Barn and a historic pub on the same trip.
The National Trust has reopened Middle Littleton Tithe Barn – but a spokesperson suggested visitors tie in the trip with a visit to The Fleece Inn in Bretforton.
The two National Trust properties are under four miles apart, making them easy to visit together.

The tithe barn is open between 10am and 5pm daily after ‘a top-to-bottom clean’.

A National Trust spokesperson said: “Step inside one of Worcestershire’s most impressive historic barns and soak up centuries of stories and craftsmanship. Whether you’re a history lover, a photographer, or simply looking for a peaceful spot to wander, it’s the perfect day out.
“And while you’re in the area, why not pop over to The Fleece Inn, Bretforton afterwards? It’s just a short stop away and makes the perfect cosy stop for a drink, a bite to eat, or a relaxing end to your visit.”
The tithe barn is described as ‘one of the largest and finest 13th-century tithe barns in the country, lying in the Worcestershire countryside’.
The Fleece Inn is a pub which dates back to the 15th century, originally built as a medieval long house and known for its historic timber-framed, witch circles, historic pewter collection and cultivation of English folk music.
