# 25 in the Monarch way footpath series
This is a continuation of the Monarch Way series that was started at Wick by Clankenn. It is not a circular walk but can be approached from any direction.
Many thanks to Clankenn for starting this series.
Please feel free to extend the series by placing more caches along the path in your area. Please let Clankenn and/or Ook the librarian know if you intend doing so.
The goal is to have the series extend the whole 615 miles of the Monarch Way footpath.
Monarch Way is the 615 mile route used by King Charles II after the Battle of Worcester in 1651 when he was pursued over a 6 week period on foot and horseback by the Parliamentary forces under Oliver Cromwell. Charles first travelled north from Worcester, where he famously hid in the oak tree at Boscobel. He then traveled south through the Cotswolds and the Mendips to the South Coast at Charmouth, and finally along the South Downs to Shoreham from where he made his escape to France.
Horton is a small village nestling on a hill overlooking Little Sodbury and, in the distance, Chipping Sodbury. Horton Court (NT) located adjacent to St James the Elder Church was built by the Bishop of Bath and Wells (William Knight) who acted as a delegate to the Pope for Henry VIII when he was trying to divorce Catherine of Aragon. It is a Tudor manor house, although the oldest part dates from Norman times.
