The Ridgeway



As it's a Bank Holiday in the UK, we decided to take a hike along the Ridgeway. It's an ancient road, and recently motor vehicles were banned from using it, so conditions have improved for hikers and bike riders.

We started and finished at White Horse Hill, which was busy with tourists, hang gliders and model aeroplane enthusiasts.


After walking round the Fort, we hiked as far as Waylands Smithy, which is a Neolithic Long Barrow burial mound, decided that there were too many tourists around and headed back to White Horse Hill.


Just time to take in the scenery and then off home for lunch.
