Escort Way is a 114-kilometre (71 mi) country road in New South Wales running from Mitchell Highway in Orange to Lachlan Valley Way in Forbes. The name derives from the notorious hold up of the Lachlan Gold Escort by bushrangers in 1862 which occurred along the route, and subsequent lobbying by the Canowindra Historical Society to recognise this. Escort Rock, a heritage-listed geological formation is located adjacent to the road near Eugowra.
