A fantastic day out

A thoroughly enjoyable and fascinating place to visit and a must go for all avid history fans. A big thank you to our tour guide, Michael, who did not fail to bring the battle of Bosworth field alive with important facts as well as lesser known details. Would definitely visit again when in the area!

Wonderful Tour at Bosworth Battlefield

Helpful staff at ticket desk and inside the museum. Displays were thorough and easy to to follow. The highlight was tour guide Nick’s explanation on how and why the battle occurred and what happened afterwards.
