This is an all-in-one hiking guide to The Ridgeway, an 87-mile trail that partly follows England's oldest road which dates from prehistoric times. Easily accessible from London, this is not a difficult walk and the rewards are many: rolling countryside, Iron Age forts, Neolithic burial mounds, white horses carved into the chalk downs and picturesque English villages. The guide includes places to stay, places to eat, sights and comprehensive transport options for day trips.
