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.

can be muddy in winter but lovely ride

Grass track is right of way and not the road.

Here you will trail a section of the famous Ridegway, which is 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!

Great Shefford is a tiny hamlet in the heart of the Berkshire countryside. The village features a beautiful church with parts dating back to 1200AD, a local pub, The Great Shefford, and a crystal clear river that runs straight through the village.

Lovely views, and good spot for a breather, but you have to wonder if he is compensating for something?

Nicely maintained little valley with Letcombe Brook flowing through. Worth to stop for a break between Letcombe Regis and the Ridgeway.

Nice spot to take a stop and take in the views along the ridgeway.
