The Ridgeway Map | A-Z Adventure Atlas National Trail Guide

Walk in the footsteps of ancestors with the A-Z Adventure Atlas of The Ridgeway, the definitive pocket companion for exploring one of Britain's most historic National Trails. Perfectly engineered for long-distance backpackers, weekend walkers, and history enthusiasts, this atlas combines the gold standard of British trail mapping with the effortless convenience of a book format.

This innovative atlas covers the entire 139-kilometre (87 miles) journey of The Ridgeway. The route follows, in part, an ancient path along the exposed and scenic Chiltern Hills escarpment. Starting at Overton Hill near Avebury, the trail travels northeast, cutting through millennia of history as it passes near many Neolithic, Iron Age, and Bronze Age sites, before reaching its official finish at Ivinghoe Beacon near Tring, Buckinghamshire. By utilizing continuous Ordnance Survey Explorer mapping bound into a book, this atlas completely eliminates the frustrating need to fold and re-fold a massive sheet map on a windy ridge—simply turn the page to keep moving forward.
