The Ridgeway


An 87-mile (139km) National Trail, the Ridgeway runs from Overton Hill near Avebury in Wiltshire to Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire. Part of this route follows Britain’s oldest road, dating back millennia. Taking 5-7 days, this is not a difficult walk and the rewards are many: rolling countryside, Iron Age forts, Neolithic burial mounds, white horses carved into the chalk downs and picturesque villages. This new edition includes GPS waypoints, and a section for Wantage.

Includes:
53 detailed walking maps - the largest-scale maps available at just under 1:20,000 (8cm or 31/8 inches to one mile)
Unique mapping features - walking times, directions, tricky junctions, places to stay, places to eat, points of interest. These are not general-purpose maps but fully edited maps drawn by walkers for walkers.
Itineraries for all walkers - whether hiking the entire route or sampling highlights on day walks or short breaks. Detailed public transport information for all access points.
Practical information for all budgets - what to see; where to eat (cafés, pubs and restaurants); where to stay (B&Bs, hotels, hostels, bunkhouses and campsites).
