White horse hill heading east downhill on the ridgeway very rutted

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

Kennet and Avon Canal path is a lovely section with plenty of room to pass walkers, be respectful and use a bell

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

Bronze age highway across the borders of the home counties, wonderful route and forms part of the King Alfreds Way, this is a cycling highlight that is a must for any UK tourer.

The Kennet and Avon Canal is 87 miles (140km) long. It links Bristol to Reading joining the natural waterways of the Avon and Kennet rivers with a 57mile (92km) canal. The canal was constructed between 1794 and 1810. The construction of the railways lost the canal a lot of it's trade and it fell into disrepair in the late 19th century. The canal and path have been restored and fully opened again in 1990.

"The Church of England parish church of the Holy Cross was begun in the 13th century and enlarged later that century or in the early 14th. In the 15th century the chancel was lengthened and re-roofed. In 1891–2 the aisles were rebuilt and the south porch rebuilt. The building is of flint with limestone dressings, and the chancel is finished in roughcast. The west tower is described as "massive" and has substantial corner buttresses. The collection of stone fragments held in the church includes four which appear to be Norman. The font bowl is 12th century. The interior fittings, which include two brass chandeliers dated 1751, are described by Pevsner as "quite an uncommon wealth". The tower has six bells, five of them dated 1708 and made by the elder Abraham Rudhall. The church was recorded as Grade I listed in 1966." Cit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsbury
