イーストヘンドレッドでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Scutchamer Knob is an ancient Iron Age burial mound and historic landmark on the Ridgeway. Along my King Alfred’s Way bikepacking route, it was a memorable spot to pause before the final stretch to Reading. 📜 Once a Saxon meeting place, this hilltop offers panoramic views of the surrounding Berkshire downs—a perfect blend of history and landscape. 🚴‍♂️ A short climb rewards you with quiet reflection and wide-open skies.

Beautiful view with dry conditions also suitable to ride there with a Gravelbike

lovely little cafe and small shop with indoor and outdoor seating.

Always wet along here and sometimes very muddy.

The section between East Hendred and Harwell Science campus can become very muddy and wet after a lot of rain leaving it very slippery too

Can be very muddy and waterlogged in winter along here

Great route south in the summer.

Welcome to the Ridegway, thought to be one of Britain's oldest roads! You'll be traversing along the exact route that has been used since prehistoric times by travellers, herdsmen and soldiers - a real fascinating piece of history!
