Ambion Hill

Ambion Hill is a hill in west Leicestershire, England, south of the town of Market Bosworth and lying south of the Sutton Cheney to Shenton road and north of Dadlington and of Fenn Lanes Roman road.

The chronicler Raphael Holinshed wrote in 1577 that Richard III "pitched his field on a hill called Anne Beame, refreshed his soldiers and took his rest".

[3] Leicestershire County Council set up the battlefield visitor centre at what was Ambion Hill Farm, in 1974.

It is now accepted that the core of the battlefield lies either side of Fenn Lanes, about two miles south-west of the visitor centre and that Ambion Hill was Richard III's camp on the night before the battle.

The cortège carrying Richard III's remains visited the hill during the procession before their interment in Leicester Cathedral in 2015.
