Synopsis: |
This book features 23 circular walks around the battlefields of Yorkshire, offering the opportunity to visit sites from the Battle of Heathfield in 633, through the War of the Roses and the English Civil War, to military airfields of the Second World War. Each chapter contains a stimulating account of each battle with up-to-date information on access and facilities. Discover the fascination of battlefield exploration whilst appreciating the picturesque and varied terrain of this county, already a walkers' favourite. Not only are you invited to visit famous battlefields but there is also the opportunity to discover sites of sieges (town walks) and military airfields. Yorkshire is of particular significance, because it contains more important battlefields than any other county, encompassing over one thousand years of English history. |
