A free guided tour is to explore the history of one of York’s most famous battles.

On Sunday 27th August history fanatics will be taken back to the year 1066 with a tour around one of England's most famous battle sights.

Twenty years of research have allowed the course of this battle to be traced from the landing of King Harald Hardrada the evening before to the area of the battle itself.

Chas Jones, the project leader, will lead the walk around the site.

The meeting place is the Fulford Parish playing field, opposite Fulford cemetery, at 3pm.
