SUMMARY:Naseby Battlefield Tour
DESCRIPTION:The best way to truly understand a battle is to walk in the footsteps of those who took part. Our tours follow those footsteps and give you unique access. The Naseby Battlefield Project offers public tours of Naseby Battlefield eight times a year. \nThese tours are often enriched by friends and supporting reenactor groups bringing key-aspects of the story to life on the actual battlefield. You will be surprised who you might meet. \nThe prices for public tours start at £25.00 per person. For this price we include our specially commissioned\, and highly rated Battlefield Maps & Interpretation Booklets – which are exclusive to Battlefield Tourists. To make sure that these are available we ask for you to pre-book the Battlefield Tours. We are sorry but we cannot accept visitors on the day. \nWe limit our group sizes to around 20 people. \nPlease note: The full tour lasts about 4 hours\, and will take you across the entire battlefield\, and extends to several miles. Public Tours offer some seats in a shared mini-bus\, but some of you might prefer to use your own cars. Either way we will need vehicles to get across the whole battlefield. \nRegrettably\, dogs are not allowed on our tours as some of it involves walking through working farmland. \nTo keep up to date with Naseby Battlefield Project news and battlefield tour dates visit out Facebook page or email us at enquiries@naseby.com
