Battle: Battlefield Battle: Battlefield English Heritage

Description


In this space on 14th October 1066 the battle that would shape the history of Britain took place as the last of the Anglo-Saxon kings died on the battlefield and the Norman victors completed their invasion of England. Today you can walk around the edge of the battlefield with an audio commentary that tells you about the key events of the battle (the walk was closed on the day I visited due to ground conditions following several days of very heavy rain). Alternatively, if you don't want to walk around the battlefield (takes around 30 minutes), or if the path is closed, you can instead survey the battlefield from the Abbey terrace, at roughly the level where Harold would have stood for much of the battle.
