On 5 July 1643, in one of the toughest battles of the English Civil War, a Royalist army under Sir Ralph Hopton fought its way up the steep slopes of Lansdown Hill, three miles north of Bath. They held on against repeated Parliamentarian counter-attacks and at the end of the day were masters of the field. But the price had been heavy - they had suffered heavy losses and Sir Bevil Grenvile, one of their best-loved commanders, had been mortally wounded.

This guided battlefield walk includes access to areas that are not normally accessible to the public, including the steep slope up which the Royalists attacked, and goes through some beautiful countryside with truly spectacular views.
