Refurbished and Re-Opened 'Rock' - Main Street, Towton LS24 9PB; tel. 01937 530948

The Rockingham Arms in Towton re-opened in July 2011 and has become a hub of the local community, with Sunday Quiz Nights, 'open mike' nights and other special events - and a great menu to suit all tastes, all freshly cooked on the premises. There's everything from 'Nibbly Bits' like home-made nuts, crisps and delicious herby roasted tomatoes; 'Snacky Bits' including chip butties and Scotch eggs; 'Bigger Bits' - full pub meals like fish & chips, sausage with bubble n' squeak, and chicken pie; 'Sweet Bits' including hot puddings and ice-cream; beverages, cocktails and an extensive wine list. And by summer 2012, the new TBS display centre will be open on the first floor - so get your walking boots on, go for a battlefield hike to work up an appetite, and treat yourself to some good pub grub!

Towton Battlefield Trail: Thanks to the landowning Verity family, Rural England and the Royal Armouries, visitors can now walk a new Battlefield Trail round the entire battlefield, free of charge, at any time of year - aided by a series of 10 magnificent display boards situated at key points (like Bloody Meadow and Dacre's Cross on the B1217). The boards feature battlefield maps, superb photographs of arms and armour from the Royal Armouries' collections, artwork by the famous Wars of the Roses artist Graham Turner, and detailed information about the course of the battle (the picture on the right shows Board 10, 'The Village' on Old London Road).

Or if you prefer to have a guide, TBS members lead two walks round the Battlefield Trail, typically on the second and fourth Sundays of the month - check out the TBS website or Facebook page for further details.
