We are pleased to announce the updated list of battlefield walks for 2019. We aim to do two walks per month – but obviously need to have volunteers to lead them so keep visiting this page as when we can put more walks on this is where they will be shown.
All walks begin at the Barn (the large black barn) on Old London Rd, Towton at 10.30am and all are on a Sunday. You do not have to be a member of the TBS to come along.
Park near the Barn on Old London Road (the turning next to the Rockingham Arms pub). Please park considerately so as not to cause any problems for residents. The Rockingham Arms car park is only for clients of the pub. The Landlord has made it clear that if you are not in the pub you cannot use their car park. Explicitedly this means anyone who has intentions to visit the Rockingham Arms after a walk cannot use the car park whilst they are out walking.
There are some excellent hostelries around the Battlefield (Saxton, Barkstone Ash as well as Towton). Ideal for a breakfast start, a meal afterwords or just a drink. Our Visitor Information Centre is at the Crooked Billet near Saxton.
Please note that the Society has decided to charge a fee of £4 per head.
