In 1459 one of the bloodiest battles of the Wars of the Roses took place in the small hamlet of Bloare Heath. The site remains almost unchanged from that time and affords the opportunity to visualise the battle and the displacement of the armies. This re-enactment brings to life a pivotal moment in medieval history and the web site provides a wealth of information about the event and also the history surrounding the battle.

Bishop's Castle Michaelmas Fair 24 - 25 September

With street entertainment, a steel band and a vehicle rally this is a great weekend out for anyone. Bishop's Castle is a fine town and this autumn fair brings the whole place to life. A great event even if it is a reminder that summer is almost over.

Well that's about it for another month. September can be a great time to visit the county. As you can see there are still numerous events taking place but the pace is beginning to slow and with the majority of visitors gone the county offers peace and tranquillity as well as spectacular events.
