| Ridgeway40 Route Map | |
|
Most of the walk follows the National Trail way-marked as
the Ridgeway. Please pay attention to the map In areas with many paths such as the few miles
after Bury Down (32 miles), way-marks should help keep to the
correct route. The walk
is different from the National Trail between Barbury Castle
and Whitefield Hill (see note below that section on the map) ** (courtesy of Alan Iwi) To download an A4 map (updated October 2021) [click here] |

| GPX and KML route files | |
|
Most GPS devices designed for outdoor sports and navigation
can both create and use GPX files. The great thing about the
universal nature of a GPX file is that different brands of
device, with different maps loaded can all use the same GPX
file. The KML file format is used by Google Maps GPX file of the Ridgeway40 route [click here] - Updated June 2022 KML file of the Ridgeway40 route [click here] |
