About The Ridgeway

The Ridgeway is a broad track passing through the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. They are unpaved, relying simply on the hard ground to provide a suitable surface for traveling on. They provide a more direct route than the modern roads we use today; modern roads tend to be located on more level, flat ground in valleys. It will be a new experience for you.
