About The Ridgeway
The Ridgeway, often hailed as Britain's oldest road, is an ancient trackway that stretches from Wiltshire to the River Thames at the Goring Gap. This historic route, part of the Icknield Way, has been modernized as the Ridgeway National Trail, established in 1972, which spans 87 miles (140 km) from Overton Hill near Avebury to Streatley, and continues through the Chiltern Hills to Ivinghoe Beacon. Its rich history and scenic landscapes make it a significant area for planning applications related to conservation, tourism, and recreational development.
