The Battle of Bosworth or Bosworth Field was an important battle during the Wars of the Roses in 15th century England. It was fought on 22 August 1485 between the Yorkist King Richard III, the last of the Plantagenet dynasty, and the Lancastrian contender for the crown, Henry Tudor, 2nd Earl of Richmond (later King Henry VII). It ended in the defeat and death of Richard and the establishment of the Tudor dynasty.
The Country Park was developed in the early 1970’s to provide an environment to interpret the famous Battle of Bosworth. The boundaries of the Country Park do not necessarily represent the expanse of the historic battle.
