    Known as Britain's oldest road, the Ridgeway National Trail follows the high ground through a varied landscape of woodland, towns, farmland and remote chalk downland from its start at the World Heritage Site of Avebury to Ivinghoe Beacon, 87 miles away. Used since prehistoric times by travellers, herdsmen and soldiers, today it's a popular route for hikers, runners and cyclists.
