As opposing armies converged on each other from different parts of the country, they often met up somewhere in the centre. Because of this, the Midlands has played a prominent part in the military history of England and the events that form the basis of the 22 walks in this guide range from the Battle of Evesham in 1265 to the bombing of Coventry in 1940. The walks are spread across the midlands, with many located near major centres. There are battlefields, siege sites and the many other places associated with military campaigns ranging from Richard III's overnight stay at a Leicester inn to Charles II's escape from his pursuers at Boscobel House. Most of the sites are in peaceful and tranquil surroundings and situated amidst attractive countryside. Many have features of interest nearby, such as a ruined castle, a cathedral, an ancient house, or old churches and abbeys, which all add to the interest and enjoyment of the walk.
Each walk includes a summary of a military engagement, putting battles and seiges into historical context, plus full route descriptions, information on other places of interest and suggestions for local follow-up visits associated with the battle.
