Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre with a longer and more detailed Guided Walk around the local area. Follow in the footsteps of one of Britain’s most famous monarchs by visiting the sites King Richard III stayed and prayed at during that fateful August of 1485.
This enjoyable walk will be led by two of our experienced Battlefield Guides and as you walk, they will regale you with tales of the historic Battle of Bosworth, King Richard III’s demise, and the remarkable triumph of Henry Tudor.
Highlights will include: traversing across the actual site of the battlefield, the locations of Richard’s and Stanley’s camps, Dadlington where some of the dead are believed to be buried, Shenton Hall, Stoke Golding church, Shenton Station, and the Ashby canal.
