Discover the history behind The Battle of Bosworth
Take in some history at the Battle of Bosworth Heritage Centre and Country Park. Discover the history behind the battle waged in 1485 where Richard III fought to remain King and was vanquished by Henry Tudor. There are plenty of interactive displays and hands on activities to take part in. Plan your visit in advance as the centre often puts on special events and festivals especially during August when the battle was fought all those years ago.
