イーストヘンドレッドのおすすめランニングルート

BE WARNED: The East Ginge end of this track has been gated up by the farmers. The "National Cycleway Route 544" signpost adjacent to it has been turned around to point south and upwards towards The Ridgeway, along the White Way.

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.

A perfect pause near the end of my King Alfred’s Way ride to Reading, this spot offers sweeping Berkshire views and a peek into England’s deep past. The Ridgeway here follows ancient trade routes, with nearby Iron Age earthworks and medieval terraces. Local legends whisper of ghostly travelers and strange lights in nearby woods — adding a bit of mystery to the stunning scenery. 🚴‍♂️ Easy access for cyclists. Take a moment to soak in the views and the stories before your final miles.

Came across this striking obelisk at dusk while bikepacking the Ridgeway. The monument stands on an ancient barrow, just off a well-trodden section of the trail. Its silhouette caught in the fading light made for a quietly memorable moment. There’s a small nearby car park and good access, but in the evening it felt remote and peaceful. I found a discreet wild camping spot within 2 km of here — the surrounding downs offer open views.

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

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

Nice stress relief

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
