'The Orange Way' (350 miles) was first recorded by Les Ham in 2003 in his book The Orange Way (Meridian Books) and covers 15 sections. From the spot where William of Orange landed at Brixham, the route travels northeast to Exeter and then east to Axminster. It then continues east to Salisbury before turning north to Hungerford and then east again, via Reading, to London.
Like the Monarch's Way, the Orange Way is an approximation of the route using places noted in the historic records. Most of the route has been radically changed in the intervening centuries by enclosure, mining, urbanisation and the building of roads, canals and railways. So far, there are no waymarks.
