To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Register of Historic Battlefields in England the Battlefields Trust and its partner organisations are arranging a series of battlefield walks in September 2025.
Join the Battlefields Trust to explore this fascinating Wars of the Roses battlefield.
The walk covers the initial stages of the battle when a Lancastrican army led by Queen Margaret of Anjou and the Duke of Somerset attacked a Yorkist force under the Earl of Warwick that had occupied St Albans and established a fortified camp to the north on Bernards Heath.
The walk will last approximately two hours and finish at St Peter's church (AL1 3HG) at the opposite end of St Peter's Street around 4.00 p.m.
The walk is suitable for wheelchair users as it will be mainly on pavements. There are however some steep hills and inclines to negotiate. Under 18s are welcome, but they must be accompanied by an adult.
There is no parking by the Museum + Galleries, but there are public car parks available just a five minute walk away in the Maltings (AL1 3HL) or Drovers Way/Russell Avenue (AL3 5EB).
