If you would like to know more then why not join 'The Monarch's Way Association' - please see below.

Brakemill, Hagley, Worcestershire




The Monarch's Way Association

We believe the period of the English Civil Wars to be, at least constitutionally, one of the most important periods of our history.   We also believe that nothing enhances a good walk more than a good theme - we believe The Monarch's Way enjoys both of these ingredients.

The aims of the Association are; to provide a knowledge of the way: to further the historical knowledge of those times: to establish an informal stewardship of the Way; to advise local highway authorities of maintenance issues and to establish and maintain links with like minded organisations.

The Association publishes a bulletin each half-year giving news of the way, improvements/alterations to the route and any other news items that may be of interest to members. For the moment there is no formal subscription fee - all that is required are two SAEs (a 2nd Class Stamp and a C5 Envelope please) for the Bulletins to represent a years subscription.

In addition, 'paid up' Association members (ie. those with at least one SAE in credit) benefit from a 10% reduction in the price of any of the books itemised below, as well as The Monarch's Way guide books, when ordering through the Association.


For membership, please send name and address etc. for a membership form, to:   The Monarch's Way Association, 15 Alison Road, Halesowen B62 0AT.


Completion Certificates and Rucksack Badges.

Whether you are an Association member or not you still qualify for a completion certificate for each of the three books completed, plus a certificate if you wish one to evidence completion of the whole of the Way.   All that is needed are postage stamps to the value of 50p (UK) for each certificate and your postal address.   Rucksack Badges are available at £5 (UK) each - postage and packing included - on completion of just one of the three books.

For both the Certificates and Badges we shall of course require reasonable evidence - a brief description of the route, accommodation etc, that will satisfy the criteria, for example.   More information may be obtained by e-mailing: monsway@blueyonder.co.uk
