    Running

    The Monarch's Way is King Charles II escape route after being defeated by Cromwell in the battle of Worcester in 1651. For six weeks the 21-year-old was being hotly pursued by Parliamentary troops as he meandered all across this pretty part of England.

    All in all the route is 625-mile long and is now a long distance footpath that runs from Worcester via Bristol and Yeovil to Shoreham, West Sussex.

    It doesn't matter what time of year you go along this beautiful historic route the seasons will reward you accordingly.
