Unique interviews with the Ridgeway Officer, a warden and a Swindon Borough Council Ranger offer practical and helpful advice, and a visit to the Ridgeway Centre near Wantage gives an overview of accommodation that is available to the walker. From fellow walkers, a 1906 cyclist, and teenagers spending the night on their own in the open, people are the life of this ancient road. A 'gorseth' or gathering in Avebury, at the start of the Ridgeway is a colourful pageant; an interview with a druid gives us insight into rites of an ancient calendar. The National Trail passes through 5 counties to reach Ivinghoe Beacon, a distance of 85 miles.
