ホワイトホースの谷でののおすすめランニングルート

Great views down the valley and Uffington white horse (white horse hill). Too wet to take proper photos alas. You will have a better experience on a clear day, I hope.

A wonderful running route along the canal with pretty houseboats, there is almost always rowing on the canal 😃

Uffington White Horse, Hill Fort & Dragon Hill – Ridgeway Detour Worth Every Calorie. If you’re bikepacking the Ridgeway or King Alfred’s Way, don’t just roll past this spot. Reserve a few calories and at least an hour — this area packs in some of the most iconic and mysterious landmarks in the region. 🟠 The Uffington White Horse – A 3,000-year-old chalk figure carved into the hillside. It’s Britain’s oldest hill figure and only fully visible from the air, but still incredible from the trail. 🟠 Uffington Castle (Hill Fort) – An Iron Age hill fort with wide open views and perfect spots to sit, snack, or take in the history. 🟠 Dragon Hill – A small, flat-topped mound tied to ancient legend. Folklore says this is where St George slew the dragon, and the bare patch where no grass grows is said to be stained with the dragon’s blood. A mix of archaeology, scenery, and myth — and it’s all just a short detour from the Ridgeway. Totally worth the time, especially if you catch it at sunset. 🎥 Short on time but carrying a drone? Put it up here and explore from the air — it’s the best way to take in the scale of the horse and the surrounding landscape. ✅ Ideal lunch or golden hour stop ✅ Historic and photogenic ✅ Good for walking the bike and soaking it all in 📍 Located near Uffington, Oxfordshire
