Our Ridgeway Walking Holidays have been created with ease and convenience in mind, walking The Ridgeway either completely or in two sections, both starting or finishing in Goring. Prices quoted below are per person, inclusive of bed and breakfast accommodation, baggage transfer, map and guide book, and either sharing a room, or occupying a room on a single occupancy basis.
For the complete route we offer 7, 8 and 9 day options. You will see that the 9 day itinerary is almost the same as the 8 day except that we have spread the last 2 days across 3 days as the distances are quite long whilst co-inciding with some hills.
All of the itineraries can be done in reverse. Just mention this in the comments.
If you wish to vary any of these itineraries, just contact us. We are a phone call, email or chat away!
