| Ridgeway40 Route Map |
|
Most of the walk follows the National Trail way-marked as
the Ridgeway. Please pay attention to the map In areas with many paths such as the few miles
after Bury Down (32 miles), way-marks should help keep to the
correct route. The walk
is different from the National Trail between Barbury Castle
and Whitefield Hill (see note below that section on the map) To download the map [click here] |
