Itinerary
Day 1 Arrive in Avebury and overnightThe official start of the Ridgeway is Overton Hill. However due to a lack availability here you will have your first night in Avebury; if you arrive early then you can take some time to visit the Standing Stones.
B&B Dorwyn Manor offers comfortable accommodation in Avebury. There is free private parking available on site. The rooms come with a private en-suite bathroom and feature a flat-screen TV, DVD player and kettle and wifi access.
This stunning contemporary self catering farm house offers, comfortable rooms set in the peaceful surroundings of the farm located just outside of Marlborough.
A unique B&B steeped in history, during WW2 The Lodge was the village machine gun post and the railings were scrapped during the Second World War and in the 1990s The Lodge was a recording studio and home to Composer Roger Bolton. In 2003, The Lodge opened its door as a Bed and Breakfast. The Lodge is full of antiques which cover some 400 years of English cabinet making. The rooms offer comfortable King Size beds, flat screen TV’s, wi-fi and complimentary beverages etc. too, with a fine collection of antiquarian prints displayed in both rooms.
As you are staying in Avebury the night before, there are a number of alternative starts to the walk (detailed in the guidebook) which make for a more exciting start to this wonderful walk. The first section of this walk sees you climbing gradually to Barbury Castle Iron Age Fort where the views on a clear day are fantastic. The landscape is remote and walking is mainly on grassland until you head down to Ogbourne St George. This pretty village has many lovely cottages with thatched roofs and its two pubs are a welcome stop for many walkers. From here to Bishopstone is fairly tough but worth it when you reach the village located just off the Ridgeway path.
The Royal Oak offers comfortable accommodation for walkers. The two rooms are en-suite and have all the amenities that you need for your overnight stay. They use local fresh produce in their restaurant to create some lovely homemade heart-warming dishes.
Cheney Thatch is a lovely quaint cottage in the small village of Bishopstone. Their 2 double rooms are traditionally furnished and have all the amenities you require for a relaxing overnight stay.
From Bishopstone you soon make your way up to White Horse Hill and Uffington Castle. This is quite a tough climb but its worth it when you reach the top and see these amazing horses cut into the hillside. Dating back to around 800bc the Uffington White Horse is over 100 metres long and its still a mystery how it was so well excavated from the hillside. The White Horse Hill area is one of the highlights of the Ridgeway so take time to relax and enjoy it. Soon you will take the turn off for Letcombe Regis which is just 2km from the path.
You are assured the warmest of welcomes at the Greyhound Inn. This 18th century free house, located in the centre of the pretty village of Letcombe Regis, is the perfect place to relax and unwind after your day’s walk. This is traditional English Village Inn, where you may enjoy the vibrant atmosphere in the bar and dining area. When you wish to retire to your room, you will find most comfortable lodging, the en suite rooms having Hypnos mattresses on the beds and crisp white linen. Luxury handmade natural bath and body products may be found in the bathrooms. All rooms have everything one would expect, including free Wi-Fi, flat screen TVs with Freeview, tea and coffee making facilities (with fresh milk!), and little extras such as homemade biscuits.
Quince Cottage is a large thatched house, dating from the 17th Century with later additions. Originally 2 cottages it was converted to one dwelling about 30 years ago. Guest rooms have comfortable beds, flat screen TV, Tea & Coffee making gear and WiFi access.
Overlooking the historic market place of Wantage in Oxfordshire for over 500 years, The Bear Hotel has always been a staging point for weary travellers and today provides the perfect venue for a relaxing stop-over. This is the largest hotel in Wantage with 34 en-suite rooms which are all furnished to a modern standard.
This section of the walk is fairly easy with most of the walking on flat broad, grassy paths. On a clear day you can see the Chiltern Hills in the distance which the Ridgeway later travels. After the road crossing, more trees become apparent and the path starts to undulate slightly. You gradually descend into Streatly on the west bank of the River Thames before you cross over to the bustling town of Goring.
The Miller is a haven of laid back luxury in the idyllic Thames-side village of Goring, overlooking beautiful South Oxfordshire and West Berkshire countryside. All the amenities you require are included in each stylish, individually designed room at the Miller of Mansfield. Overlooking the garden, the informal restaurant serves local produce on its modern British menu. Real ales and fine wines are available in the bar.
Chaddleworth is a welcoming house with peaceful and comfortable bedrooms offering tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryers and a television in each room. Chaddleworth was built in 1935 and has been a family home for over 20 years. It sits within an acre of well loved garden and is surrounded by fields. The garden used to be the Orchard for the estate known as Cleeve Court. A well known English botanist, plant collector, explorer and author Francis Kindon-Ward had the house build for his first wife Florinda to live in.
A Victorian Gothic riverside family home set in 16 acres of beautiful grounds with views over the Thames to the Ridgeway. All rooms are comfortably furnished and have free wifi, TV/DVD players and tea and Nespresso coffee-making facilities. As well as the standard bed and breakfast facilities, they are able to offer use of the tennis court and the indoor swimming pool.
This stretch of the Ridgeway is very enjoyable and highlights the contrast from the previous days walking in the remote and open countryside. You follow the River Thames (England’s most famous river) for the first 5 or so miles and pass charming little villages. The walking is on narrow secluded paths and in the springtime these are covered with bluebells and wood anemones. When you reach Nuttfield the path heads north and you pass Swyncombe and then up to Watlington which officially is the smallest town in England.
This B&B is all geared up to walkers on the Ridgeway and offer comfortable accommodations with all the amenities that you require.
The Fat Fox Inn is a large Inn offering comfortable accommodation; the pub has an attractive bar set next to an inglenook fire place with a wood burning stove and a newly developed dining room which is elegantly eclectic. To the rear of the property there is a converted coaching barn which houses the en-suite guest rooms.
Retrace your steps back out of Watlington and onto the trail path for another day of fairly easy start walking onward to Princes Riscorough.
A slightly tougher section with some steep ascents and descents takes you to Wendover.
Set in a listed building featuring a 17th-century fireplace and exposed beams, it also has modern features throughout to allow you a great overnight stay. Rooms are all individually furnished with all the amenities you require.
The Greyhound Inn is a small, family-run country hotel with eight exclusive rooms, which means they can offer an unrivalled personal level of service. You can enjoy the benefits of having one of the top local restaurants on the premises. So, after a day of walking you can return to savour the delights of their top chef. Some of their rooms are in the main hotel building, some are in a newer building at the rear.
The Greyhound is a family run pub that offers comfortable accommodation for walkers. All rooms have tea/coffee facilities and TV’s. They offer great pub dinners and local ales.
This section is a little bit harder due to some steep up and downs as the trail meanders towards the end of the Ridgeway path. This route takes you through Wigginton and around the outskirts of Tring/Aldbury.
Follow the last part of the Ridgeway as it climbs up to the famous Ivinghoe Beacon - the official end point. Ensure you take a moment to enjoy the views and grab a photo before retracing your steps back to your overnight accommodation in Aldbury.

There is no secure parking, limited on street unsecure parking is available.
If you are walking the full Ridgeway path then you will finish in Ivinghoe Beacon, we use accommodation in Aldbury for your last night. There is a train station in nearby Tring and you can reach London Euston in 40 mins. If you are looking to return to Avebury to get your car then you need to go via London to get back to Swindon and then take the bus to Avebury (3 hrs) and many changes.
For your travel plans the best advice can be found on the Traveline Website.
Daily door to door baggage transfer is included in the cost of your holiday. We ask you to limit your luggage to one bag of up to 20kg per person.
The distances and ascent/descents are approximations of the recommended routes.
Please be prepared by packing all necessary items, for example, proper rain gear (jacket and pants), sun hat, sunscreen. Your information pack has a detailed equipment list which includes standard walking gear such as good walking boots or shoes, warm and waterproof clothes for the cooler months and lightweight clothing for summer, and a day pack.
It is a requirement of booking this tour with Macs Adventure that you have suitable travel insurance which covers you for the activity and emergency evacuation and hospital care.
We offer a range of itineraries so you can choose your preferred daily distance so hopefully you will find an itinerary that suits your preferred level of activity. If you currently don’t enjoy an active lifestyle we suggest regular walking in hilly terrain supplemented by cardio vascular exercise for at least 6 months prior to your walk. A good gym or personal trainer will be able to draw up a personalised training programme.
As far in advance as possible! We suggest you book as soon as your plans are finalised as the walk can get very booked up in the summer months. If booking at short notice we will always try and accommodate your plans.
You will need good walking shoes/boots (ideally waterproof), comfortable walking clothes, waterproof jacket and trousers, a daypack and hats/gloves etc.
The Ridgeway is very enjoyable at any time between March and October although the most popular favourite time of year for walking is in the Spring and the Autumn.
We recommend you travel by train as this is the most efficient way of reaching the start and finish point of the walk. There is no secure parking in Avebury and it is very hard to get back to your car from the finish point.
Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate walkers with dogs as many of the accommodation providers we use do not accept pets.
You can use local bus services or local taxis to continue to your next overnight stop.
