Itinerary
Battle of Bosworth & the Battlefield Line
Itinerary
Day 1
From a morning pick up in your local area we travel by coach to the heart of England and the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre, located near the lovely village of Sutton Cheney. In this hands-on experience, we learn about the Battle of Bosworth, the art of medieval warfare and how the fateful battle unfolded. Later we check into our hotel, arriving in time to enjoy dinner and our first night's stay.
Day 2
Following breakfast at the hotel, we enjoy a nostalgic heritage train ride on the Battlefield Line from Shackerstone to Shenton, a journey of five miles. Afterwards, we enjoy some free time in Leicester, before the coach takes us back to our hotel in time for dinner.
Day 3
We check out of the hotel after breakfast and head to Market Bosworth for some free time to explore. Worth a visit during our stop here is the White Boar Inn, where Richard III spent the night before the Battle of Bosworth. Later, we rejoin the coach for our journey home.
