The long distance footpath follows King Charles II's flight after the Battle of Worcester in 1651. The kings party passed through Stourbridge during the night of 3rd September in company with Colonel Gifford later finding refuge at Whiteladies Priory. Using Public Rights Of Way, roads and canal towpaths the footpath links the known places where the king stayed during his six week journey before his escape into exile in France. There were of course no canals or railways at that time.
