White horse hill heading east downhill on the ridgeway very rutted

Although most riders finish King Alfred’s Way in Winchester, I wrapped up my journey in Reading—making this stunning Ridgeway section into Streatley one of my final and most memorable stretches. The open chalk track offers incredible views over the Thames Valley, followed by a flowing descent into Streatley & Goring—an ideal place to pause, refuel, and take in the last big skies before rolling to the end. 🚴‍♂️ Fast but rideable chalk descent (even in damp conditions), watch for walkers and ruts. 📍 Café and rest stop options in Streatley/Goring.

Rode this section at dusk — the fading light and rising moon gave the white chalk trail a soft glow as it stretched ahead. In dry conditions, the surface is grippy and rolls fast, making it a smooth and enjoyable stretch of the Ridgeway. A peaceful, open ride across classic chalk downs. ✅ great in dry weather ✅ fast, flowy chalk downs hardpack 📸 luminous at sunset or under a rising moon

Rumoured to once have been a medieval hall house or manor before it became a pub. It was built in the 15th century or possibly earlier, It has two rooms, a large panelled tap room with inglenook fireplace and quarry-tiled floor, and a smaller L-shaped room. The bar itself is a servery with sliding glass partitions and hatches, and has no bar fittings at all save for ebony handpumps, which were fitted in 1902. The pub is also notable for having been owned and run by the same family continuously since the 18th century. The pub is a free house and sells beers from a number of local breweries.

sections can be very tough going in winter and spring due to mud and chalky surfaces; expect some hike-a-bike;

Keep doing what you are doing, amazing spot and very welcome

Exercise caution! Steep and extremely rutty with very slippy chalk when wet. take your time. There is an alternative path to the left !

Take your time and take in the history and enjoy the scenery.
