The Ridgeway - possibly the country's oldest path - follows the central section of the mighty swathe of chalk that cuts across England from the Dorset to the Norfolk coasts. Between Avebury in Wiltshire and Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire, it winds, undemandingly, for 87 miles along a trail of two halves, with the Thames providing its midpoint. The wide-open spaces of the bare North Wessex Downs are rich in prehistoric treasures and soul-cleansing views, while the Chilterns to the east are cosier, more populated, more heavily wooded. Step out and back in time on this classic ancient route.
