Battle of Tewkesbury 1471

Sunday 6th September 2026

An opportunity to explore one of the key battles of the Wars of the Roses with the Tewkesbury Battlefeld Society

Meet at 10:00am from the red brick gates into the Abbey grounds from Gander Lane car park, Tewkesbury GL20 5PG (pave.losing.teacher).

The walk covers just over two miles, on a mixture of tarmac footways and well-defined footpaths through fields. There are two “kissing gates” and a flight of steps to negotiate and so regrettably it is not accessible to wheelchair users.

The walk will take approximately two hours to complete and finishes back at Tewkesbury Abbey. The walk is free and dogs are welcome, Donations to the society are always welcome.

Car parking is available at two car parks both on Gander Lane as well as other car parks in the area.
