Use the interactive map below to browse the major battlesites of Britain. Although we have attempted to geotag the battlesites as accurately as possible, there are some occasions where we have had to use some artistic license due to a lack of historical evidence regarding their exact locations.
We also have a series of articles covering some of the major battles that we’ve listed below, including the Norman Invasion of 1066 and many of the Jacobite battles. See the ‘related articles’ to right for the links.
Below is a list of all of our battle site articles broken down into their respective conflicts and wars.
