Big Battlefield Walk Weekends - Civil War Battle of Hopton Heath 1643

The walk will cover the northern approaches to the battlefield, the parliamentarian deployment, the centre of the field, including the commemorative monument and interpretation board, and the lines of attack by the royalists from the south.
