To mark the 10th anniversary of the historic reinternment of Richard III, discover not only the routes of the King’s fateful last journeys in and out of Leicester city centre in 1485 but also the odyssey undertaken by those charged with reburying the last Plantagenet in 2015.

Led by local historian, Jim Butler, who was also part of the team charged with reburying the King, this ride explores some of the places around Leicester that Richard would have known in life as well as some of the behind-the-scenes work undertaken to honour the king in death.

Children under the age of 16 must be wearing a helmet and be accompanied by an adult.

We especially welcome newbies!
