The Ridgeway
Hackpen Hill to The Sanctuary & onto The Barge/All Cannings

Starting a few miles north of All Cannings, the Ridgeway offers a fabulous long walk. This is the south west end of the Ridgeway which starts in Hertfordshire, runs along the Chilterns, on through south Oxfordshire and finally into North Wiltshire, skirting around the Marlborough Downs.

Starting from Hackpen Hill, north west of Marlborough, there are great views north and west towards the Cotswolds and, somewhat closer, west to Windmill Hill and Avebury.

There's no need to finish at the Sanctuary - the walk goes on up to the Wansdyke, Adam's Grave and, in theory, across the Vale of Pewsey (more of a Holloway than a Ridgeway!).

Don't forget to call in at the Barge in Honeystreet or, better still, finish up along the canal to All Cannings and the Kings Arms.
