It’s always good to walk around the British countryside, and for Ricardians the prospect of including the site of Bosworth Field in our rambling has to be a carrot par excellence. Such a walk is newly available, called the Battlefields and Borderlands Way , and takes in a number of important sites in south-west Leicestershire, some medieval, some not.

For those of us who enjoy being out and about on shank’s pony, this is clearly very enticing. My only quibble is that Bosworth is described as a “skirmish”, albeit a key one. Methinks it was rather more than that!
