Shenton Station – Battlefield Line Railway

Highlight • Structure

Nice little stop off on the trail, a traditional station unlike the kind you find in major use. A small car park and toilets are available. Please do go inside you might be suprised with what you find.

Ambion Wood

Highlight • Forest

The wood can be accessed from the Bosworth Battlefield or from along the Ashby Canal. It is privately owned but crossed by footpaths.

Richard III's Well

Highlight • Natural Monument

A local legend records that it was from the spring which Richard drank before the battle. This might suggest that the well was already noted and perhaps a holy well? Another legend records that on a hawthorn tree near the spring King Richard’s crown was found which would be very coincidental if the former legend was correct. This seems likely to be a piece of folklore later adapted to support the well rather than vica versa.

Sutton Wharf Café

Highlight • Cafe

Brilliant cafe just off the road, with an ice cream serving boat. What more do you need on a summers day.
