BATTLE OF BOSWORTH
Relax in the hotel and gardens, enjoy a walk in nearby Market Bosworth, or join the coach for a short trip to the site of the ‘Battle of Bosworth’. Here, in August of 1485, Richard III became the last English King to die in combat in the famous battle from the War of the Roses. Henry VII took the crown and founded the incredibly powerful Tudor Dynasty. Walk the fields and cast you mind back to olden days or, for a small fee of approx. £10 explore the fabulous Battlefield Heritage Centre.
