Battlefield 1403 is a visitor centre which was newly opened for 2008 and is situated on a farm, 3 miles north of Shrewsbury just off of the A49. As well as a small exhibition there is a farm shop selling a wide variety of local products and a restaurant selling light snacks and meals.

The exhibition is housed in a former farm building and describes the events that took place during the Battle of Shrewsbury which was fought on the 21st of July, 1403 in the fields adjacent to the farm.

Nearby is Battlefield Church which has a 4 inch (approx) step and the Battlefield Heritage Trail. Wheelchairs users will need to drive the three quarters of a mile to the trail car park as the path from the visitor centre is unsuitable for wheelchairs.

You can download a copy of 'The Wheelchair User's Guide for Accessible Countryside Sites and Trails in Shropshire and the Borderlands' which features the trail from our publications page. Alternatively you can request a copy to be sent by post using the contact details to be found on our contact us page.
