Local to us and really informative. Great location and children can use their Blue Peter badges to get in for free so that's a bonus! Beautiful setting, good food in the tithe barn and a fabulous old school gift shop with everything from a pencil with a rubber on the top to a sword or bow and arrow Great for History lovers, Royalists and all ages. Very accessible and the information boards around the battlefield walk are great for adults and kids alike!
Impromptu visit. Go armed with change for the car park as doesn't accept cards. You can buy a car park ticket inside though. There was a guided tour but was about 1 1/2 hours long so we decided against. We had a light lunch at noon in the barn and it wasn't busy at all. The countryside is beautiful. We walked up to the Sundial and followed the shorter route around. Richards Well was a very peaceful place and we sat and listened to the wind in the oak trees. We went through the interesting exhibition prior to our walk. I really like the fact that you were encouraged to touch the replica artifacts. I loved the sword with the hand protection. We exited through the gift shop, surprisingly high quality gifts in there and some nice little bits and pieces, great stuff for the kids too. All in all we really enjoyed ourselves and we're glad we decided to visit. The tickets are valid for a year and my friend was looking forward to going back and doing the lovely walks with her dog.
Loved going to bosworth field, really big spacious cafe which serves all sorts of food and drink. The tour guide was brilliant and super friendly, I can’t believe how cheap it was too! We also reenacted the battle, which gives a great understanding of the events. The museum was also super interactive which I loved and staff were chatty and helpful. Overall 5/5, would definitely go back for their yearly events too
We visited Bosworth Battlefield and Heritage Center on 7/1/24 at 2:30pm. Initially, I didn't have high expectations for the place due to the lack of information online. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the incredible experience we had! The museum before the battlefield walk was fantastic, especially for kids. It provided a wealth of information about the War of the Roses, with interactive displays that catered to tactile learners. From replica weapons to life-sized statues of historical figures, the museum was engaging and educational. The dress-up center that included child sized chain, and plate armor along with the virtual experience of sticking your head into a helm to see a battle scene were particularly impressive. The museum also covered King Richard III's final moments, the crowning of Henry Tudor, and the birth of the Tudor reign. The King Richard III Sun dial and the battlefield walk further enriched our visit, making it a truly unforgettable experience. For medieval enthusiasts, this is a must-visit destination!.
Great museum that’s interactive including real chain mail, breast plate and a variety of different helmets to try on. Life size models dressed in the clothes of the time. Children can also do some brass rubbings to take home along with an impression of with a dragon or boar bookmark, depending on which King they think is the best. We went on a really rainy day so didn’t go on any of the walks around Bosworth Field, but will be going back as the tickets are valid for 12 months, so you can return as many times as you want!!
Loved the mound and sundial and the walk around the field. Didn't go in the visitor centre as we felt we knew enough about the site. The various plaques around the perimeter walk were really informative and well presented. The battle standards flying over the mound are amazing and I loved the sundial. Great cafe too.
Excellent venue, good facilities and staff. The best thing was the organisation of the parking facility. The excellent way that the staff got cars leaving the venue was brilliant.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
A lovely walk with great views. If the weather has been wet, it's very muddy in places with no easy way round, you just have to plough on in. Wellies or walking boots recommended if the weather hasn't been dry.Visited onPublic holidayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
A wonderful experience that takes you through the history and locations of the Battle of Bosworth Field, as well as an in-depth look at the entire War of the Roses. A scenic and informative 17 point route around the entire heritage centre and the grounds which can be taken with others on a guided tour, or at your own pace with friends and loved ones. Each point outlines historical significance to the locations, people, or technology used throughout the battle, as well as an hour-by-hour breakdown of the conflict. The path is very well worn, making it unsuited for wheelchairs and pushchairs, however efforts have been made to improve the conditions of the pathways. Hopefully more renovations are in the works to further improve them. A wonderful museum adding additional meat to the bones of the history of this place; whilst a fee is required to buy tickets for entry, it is well worth the charge. Inside you can learn more about King Richard III and Henry Tudor, the major figures, as well as their soldiers, knights, and serfs. Learn about the daily toils of a labourer of the time; what they ate, what they wore, and what they had to live through during such hard times. A whole array of interactive displays and arrangements await inside; are you strong enough to be a longbowman? How heavy can chainmail really be? Do you know what you could and couldn't eat during those times? How much could you see wearing a bulky, metal helmet? As well as a whole bunch of activities for the kids, like pencil rubbings of historic art, and play dress up! At the end there is a quaint little gift shop full of curios that you can bring home to remind you of your stay! There is a spacious café and restaurant on site, with a decently apportioned menu to cater for a wide range of tastes and dietary preferences. Plenty of seating inside, as well as outdoors to accommodate larger parties, children, and pets. The staff throughout are polite, friendly, and knowledgeable in their fields, and are always accommodating to curious minds. There are a number of toilet facilities in the main heritage centre before beginning the trail, able to accommodate all, as well as baby-changing facilities. There is plenty of space for parking that is reasonably close to the centre, with preferential parking for coaches and school buses.
Had a great time a lot of information great place to take the children buy your ticket once and this will allow you back as many times as you want that year if you turn up by canal boat go to train station and there's a shortcut through to the Battlefield Heritage CentreVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
