Bosworth Battlefield Centre:
Sutton Cheney from Ambion Hill
This view, a few dozen yards from Richard's battle standard, reinforces the strategic importance of this location. From the top of Ambion Hill, it is possible to see the village Sutton Cheney and the spire of its church in the background, while in the other direction the plains to the south west of Shenton are clearly visible.

Because the land is privately owned and under cultivation, it is not possible to climb to the top of the hill, but the battle trails offer excellent views in three directions.
