I'm running a virtual tour tonight following in the footstep of the young King Charles II on the run from Parliamentary or Roundhead forces following the Battle of Worcester in 1651.

It's one of those "tours" that actually lends itself best to virtual presentation and we can cover a vast c***k of England in just 90 minutes or so!

From Worcester to Shropshire, Bristol, Dorset and Sussex, the young king and his entourage were seldom far from danger and the whole thing reads like a work of fiction. A work of fiction which happens to be true.

You can join online live tonight at 1900GMT or else watch on "view again" for at least a week afterwards, longer by arrangement.

All the details and booking link are at:

A virtual tour of the adventure-filled escape of Charles II, from Worcester to Shroeham in Sussex, by way of an Oak Tree and Stonehenge!
