Market Bosworth is a small historic market town in the borough of Hinckley and Bosworth in Leicestershire, England. It dates back to the medieval period and retains a handsome Georgian market square, narrow streets and a parish church, and is best known for its proximity to the Battle of Bosworth Field, the 1485 site where the Wars of the Roses effectively ended; the battlefield and its heritage centre lie just outside the town and attract history enthusiasts.
Today Market Bosworth combines a lively high street of independent shops, cafés and antiques with rural attractions - country parks, walking routes and a nearby canal and preserved heritage railway - making it popular with day visitors and commuters who enjoy the village feel while remaining within easy reach of larger towns and cities in Leicestershire.
