    This is a particularly scenic stretch along the Ridgeway, an ancient road which runs through right through the North Wessex Downs Area of Natural Beauty.

    The Ridgeway is often deemed Britain's oldest road, having been used by travellers, herdsmen and soldiers to travel cross-country since prehistoric times.
