The Monarch's Way is a long distance walk based on the route taken by King Charles II as he escaped after being defeated by Oliver Cromwell in the final battle of the Civil Wars in 1651. For six weeks the 21-year-old uncrowned king was pursued by Parliamentary troops, he hid in oak trees, homes of his supporters and managed to get to France, where he stayed until his restoration to the throne.

@randystreat well my knowledge of USA history is limited. After King Charles ll was reinstated, he had his dad's murderer ( Cromwell)exhumed to execute him. @koalagardens I wanted something a bit different @shutterbug49 the civil war is an interesting period of history @Dawn thank you, not what I set out to capture @johnfalconer we have a fair few walks ( called Ways) around here. I was sponsored to walk the Shipwright's Way( and take a photo a day for a month) for charity
