FOOTPATHS
Chaddesley Corbett covers a relatively large 6,079 acres, that is 24.6 square kilometres (9.5 sq mi) with over 50
miles of footpaths and bridal-ways, including the “MONARCH’S WAY”, a 625-mile (1,006 km) long-distance
footpath in England that approximates the escape route taken by the 21 yr-old King Charles II in 1651 after
being defeated in the Battle of Worcester. It runs from Worcester via Bristol and Yeovil to Brighton and is the
country’s longest inland LDWA, making its way through 21 different city and county areas.
