Breaks and Escapes

For at least 5,000 years people, including drovers, traders and invaders, have walked or ridden The Ridgeway. It really is a walk through history. Explore the history of The Ridgeway for three days, a week or even longer. Find inspiration for your walking, cycling or horse riding adventure using our suggested itineraries, or select one of our bookable itineraries which are highlighted below.

There are companies that will do all the hard work for you. You’ll find some that offer self-guided packages and others that provide a guide to lead you. If you prefer to plan the trip yourself you may want to consider the services of a baggage transfer company who will transfer your bags to your next overnight stop.

Visit our Holiday Companies page to browse the list.
