Ridgeway walking the West section. 
43 Miles / 69 km to Goring
48.5 Miles/ 78 km to Wallingford 
 

Walking the West half of the Ridgeway.
Starting at the World Heritage site of Avebury and finishing either in the Village of Goring or in the Town of Wallingford. 
Itinerary for 4 to 6 nights below. 

The mileage shown below is from where the Ridgeway path starts and finishes each day and is for your guidance only. This is an extremely rural path which passes by villages and towns but not often through them.  You will find that a large proportion of the accommodations are a further walk from the path.  You will not be asked to walk any further than one and a half miles from the path to your accommodation, unless otherwise informed.  On the occasions where a (T) has been placed on the itinerary, a transfer from the path will be provided as part of your holiday.  This will either be provided by taxi service or by your host.  You will then be returned to the path the following morning to continue your walk.  When an (L) has been used, there is limited accommodation.  You may need a transfer at this location.  Further transfers not listed, may be required due to some accommodations having a two night minimum booking policy or the accommodations close to the path being already fully booked.   This will be discussed with you at the time of booking your accommodation. 

Avebury has very limited accommodation.  You might need to be booked into Ogbourne St George for two nights and transferred to Avebury on your first day of walking.
