Overview

From Wantage we head out to the pretty village of Letcombe Regis, then up to Segsbury Castle on the Ridgeway. We continue to the monument to Lord Wantage and move East along the Ridgeway dropping down into Ginge. We walk along the delightful Ginge brook and on to Ardington passing the imposing Ardington house. We then return to Wantage via part of the Vale Way. One long hill and few stiles. Please bring a picnic. Vale Walk Leader PR 07418 078044
