From Boudicca's revolt against Rome to the last Jacobite charge — over 8,000 battles and skirmishes spanning nearly two thousand years of warfare.
Britain has been shaped by warfare across two thousand years. From the Roman legions landing on the Kent coast in 43 AD to the highland charge at Culloden in 1746, the landscape carries the memory of every major conflict — in the names of fields, the earthworks that remain, and the registered battlefield sites protected today.
This directory brings together over 8,000 battles and skirmishes. Each battlefield record includes the combatants, the outcome, the historical significance, and where known, the precise location. Many are linked to scheduled monuments or recorded in the National Register of Historic Battlefields.
