Overview

We start in Wantage and head out to East Lockinge using predominately pavements and firm surfaces before a long steady climb up to the Ridgeway using a firm farm track. We then use the Ridgeway to reach our anticipated picnic stop at the Court Hill Centre before dropping down to Letcombe Regis and making our way back to Wantage.

There should be good views from the Ridgeway, weather permitting, and approximately 60% of the route will be on firm paths and tracks although some sections may be wet and muddy if it rains during the forthcoming week.
