Overview

We head West along the Ridgeway from the car park before turning North to descend the ridge and reach Westcot. From here we follow lanes, tracks and paths West to Kingston Lisle & Fawler, before turning North again to Uffington.  We continue West, with good views of the White Horse, before turning South to Woolstone and then ascending White Horse Hill to regain the Ridgeway; which we follow East to return to the car park.  The going is likely to be good to plain wet (unless we have a heatwave over and after Easter and evaporation breaks all records); there are 7 stiles in varying states of repair.  Gaiters and walking poles highly recommended for those that use them.
