Excellent guided Towton battlefield tour
Towton Battlefield的点评
点评：We had long wanted to do the guided tour of Towton Battlefield and when the opportunity arose to take a tour on Palm Sunday, the anniversary of the battle (Palm Sunday was 29th March though in 1461) we booked tickets online.
Our guide was Chris Murphy from the Towton Battlefield Society, who did a sterling job of explaining and bringing to life the history leading up to the battle and the events during the battle itself. Catering for those who knew nothing much, to those who were well versed in Towton and its place in the wars of the Roses this is a tricky task, but Chris managed it with aplomb.
The tour itself took about two and a half hours starting with a bit of a climb but nothing too strenuous, stopping of at information boards to learn about events of the battle and indeed its impact on our history. You can do this self guided but think a guided tour is well worth the money and the ability to ask questions of a guide who can answer them and relate events in a clear and entertaining way is the way to go.
Towton was the bloodiest battle in Britain with 28,000 killed in one day, but I find is little known by the population in general. The Towton Battlefield Society is doing an excellent job of trying to correct this and relate what happened when 2 anointed kings of England came to battle.

翻译：我们一直想参加陶顿战场的导览游，当有机会在圣枝主日（战役纪念日，1461年的圣枝主日是3月29日）参观时，我们在网上订了票。
我们的导游是来自陶顿战场协会的克里斯·墨菲，他出色地讲解并生动地展现了战役前的历史以及战役期间的事件。对于对陶顿及其在玫瑰战争中的地位了如指掌的人来说，这并非易事，但克里斯泰然自若地完成了。
整个旅程大约持续了两个半小时，一开始需要爬一段山，但不算太费力，中途会在信息板前停留，了解战役的事件及其对我们历史的影响。您可以自行安排，但我认为参加导览游物超所值，而且能够向导游提问，而导游能够解答您的问题，并以清晰有趣的方式讲述事件，这才是最佳选择。
陶顿战役是英国历史上最血腥的战役，一天内就有2.8万人阵亡，但我发现，这场战役鲜为人知。陶顿战场学会正在努力纠正这一错误，并讲述两位英格兰受膏国王参战时发生的事情。
