Winter along the Ridgeway National Trail

The Ridgeway National Trail runs for 87 miles from Overton Hill near Avebury, Wiltshire to Ivinghoe Beacon, Buckinghamshire, England. It is thought to follow the oldest route in Europe, dating back to the Stone Age (4000BC) and passes next to numerous prehistoric sites, notably, Avebury Stone Circle, the Uffington White Horse and Barbury Castle. 

For most of the route, it follows high ground along the chalk ridge, and after the last few months of heavy rain the footpaths are is not so muddy as those at lower levels, so a good trail to choose for a spring tour.
