The Ridgeway is a National Walking Trail which follows the route of what is probably the oldest road in England. Dating from Prehistoric times it runs for 87 miles (140 km) along chalk downs in central southern England, between Ivinghoe Beacon, near Tring, Hertfordshire to Overton Hill, near Marlborough, Wiltshire.
These photos, taken in February, show the eastern half of the route from Streatley in the Thames valley to the eastern end at Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire.
You can join us to walk this trail from 22nd April to 1st May, 2012. Check out this link to the Ridgeway Tour to find out more .
