The Ridgeway - East Section
https://dev.contours.co.uk/the-ridgeway-east-section
A walk along Britain's oldest road through the ancient landscapes of the Wessex Downs and the Chiltern Hills.
From £500 per person
An ancient track established by prehistoric man once stretched across the country from Dorset to Norfolk, and the Ridgeway follows it from East Kennet to Ivinghoe Beacon. The trail passes through two distinct landscapes on the way: the rolling North Wessex Downs, and a landscape of beech woodland and farmland dotted with historic towns in the Chiltern Hills.
The long and rich history of these areas is clear throughout, in extraordinary stone circles, ancient barrows, and the striking figure of the Uffington White Horse. The Ridgeway walk is a well-signposted and manageable route overall, and is well worth exploring.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
From £525 per person
The eastern section of the Ridgeway combines riverbank walking along the Thames with an ascent into the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This walking break charges into the most challenging section of the Ridgeway as it strays into the territory of the majestic red kite, offset by the fluttering of butterflies.
Chalk carvings and the 16th century house of Chequers mix with vibrant nature reserves and beautiful views over the Vale of Aylesbury. A final climb to the tip of Ivinghoe Beacon ensures a truly memorable end to this spectacular holiday.
