Fairfax's View
This was an important location in the Battle of Naseby of 1645 when the Parliamentarian New Model Army, under Sir Thomas Fairfax, decisively defeated Prince Rupert's Royalists, effectively bringing to an end the English Civil War. On the morning of 14th June Fairfax moved his army from Naseby Windmill (a site now commemorated with an obelisk) to this nearby vantage point. From here there was a clear view of the Royalist forces drawn up on the ridge across the valley. In those days the view would have been clearer without the hedgerows and woods we see now. A platform has been erected here so that the public can have a better idea of what the Parliamentarian commanders would have seen, together with interpretation boards and a small car park.

Fairfax's Viewpoint
The realignment of the road in front of Fairfax's Viewpoint has somewhat restricted the view from here. The site was Sir Thomas Fairfax's viewpoint during the battle of Naseby on 14 June 1645.

View over the site of the Battle of Naseby
This view over the site of the Battle of Naseby is roughly that viewed by Sir Thomas Fairfax on 14 June 1645. The official viewpoint is just to the south of a realigned road which now obscures much of this view.
