Boscobel House and its Royal Oak became famous after King Charles II used them both as hideouts after defeat at the Battle of Worcester in 1651. The stunning house was built in the 1630s and is now managed by English Heritage. Boscobel House is Grade II-listed.

The Monarchs Way will run on a permissive path through farmers fields, avoiding the official route along the lane. I may not have been paying attention but I saw no exit from this path and before I knew it, I was in an area marked "ticket holders only". The only way out was through the gift shop!
