Overview

This is one of our series of walks to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Ridgeway National Trail. From Chilton we climb up to the Ridgeway where he head east past Bury Down with good views to the north. Then we continue along the Ridgeway under the A34 and shortly we drop back down into the Vale, taking a wide loop back to Chilton via Alden Farm. Bring a drink and snack.
