Amazing walk this, half of my longer Wantage circular. Get dropped off on the Ridgeway crossing the A338 south of Wantage, then walk past the massive and ancient Segsbury Camp then down from the hills into the Thames Valley via the two Letcombe villages and back into Wantage. Nothing too difficult here, but there are some steep bits and as always the Ridgeway is exposed, so don’t expect mercy from wind/rain etc. You can cut the walk shorter by going through Sedgbury Camp and by-passing one of the villages, but personally I think it’s worth doing the whole route.
