Welcome to Capital Walkers, the friendly London Ramblers group for people aged 40+. We walk every weekend and usually at least once during the week.

The walk starts in Ogborn St George and has some remote walking with big skies and expansive views of the surrounding countryside. The distinctive white chalk Ridgeway path weaving its way through a host of wild flowers and other vegetation. Leaving the village we pass St Georges Church, cross the former Roman Road and head toward Liddington Castle fort. From here we pass Fox Hill, cross Wanborough Plain and visit King Alfred's Castle on Swinley Down before arriving at the pretty Ashbury Village.
The walk will be reasonably paced at 3mph so we can catch the local bus back to Swindon. Please bring a packed lunch.
No booking required
No drop-out points.
The finishing time is an estimate only and will be dependent on a number of factors, such as the weather, the speed at which the group walks and the number of breaks taken.
