Britain's Civil War battlefields
Five sites from Edgehill to Worcester.
The English Civil Wars (1642–1651) were fought across Britain, from the Cornish moors to the Scottish lowlands. Five battlefields are particularly well-preserved and interpreted: Edgehill (the first major engagement), Naseby (the decisive parliamentary victory), Marston Moor (largest battle on British soil), Worcester (the final royalist defeat), and Preston. Each site has interpretation boards, marked walking trails and a small museum.
