Steve Davison’s Cicerone guide to the Ridgeway National Trail will help you enjoy the 139km (87 miles) most historic walking route, from Avebury to Ivinghoe Beacon. It will lead you through two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty: the chalky North Wessex Downs & the wooded Chiltern Hills. This is an ideal guide for day trips as well as long-distance walks. Follow the tracks, some of which are over 5000 years old, & discover the extraordinary sights including the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Avebury’s Neolithic stone circle & the famous Uffington White Horse. Visit Iron Age hill forts, stop by picturesque towns & villages & watch the rich local wildlife. The guide organises the trail in 12 short stages west to east, but also provides details for walking it in the opposite direction, east to west. This way you can plan how far you would like to walk each day, whether you are going to do it over a week or going to do one or two stages at a time. The trail is well waymarked, & by not exceeding 300m passes over comparatively gentle terrain. Detailed route descriptions are accompanied by Ordnance Survey extracts mapping the route ahead, as well as colour photographs illustrating some of the highlights of the region. The guide
