Tips from the Community
The view of Hackpen Hill and The Ridgeway shows a typical English chalk hill landscape: gentle, open ridges, wide fields, and historic paths. The Ridgeway is considered one of Great Britain's oldest long-distance paths and runs near Hackpen Hill through the Wiltshire countryside. Especially in clear weather, the heights offer extensive views over the Marlborough Downs.

Be aware that after Stonhenge the route takes you down hill on a grass path and you terminate at a double gate beside the A303. The route then indicates to go up the hill to the left apparently on the A303. However, I believe that if you cross over the A303 again ( traffic is pretty slow here usually but do exercise great caution). I think there is a foot path the other side of the A303 that you can ride on in safety up the hill before crossing back over to follow the track again I missed this foot path and rode on the verge, not as nice.

Fantastic summer ride. Highly recommended, just so beautiful on a warm sunny day. Navigation can be a little tricky but just use common sense. Such great views and such remote places. Really special. Also do stop at the lovely cafe at Berwick St James, a total surprise and a refreshment delight! This really is a great ride and one of the best that will stand out all summer. I used a hard tail mtb and would recommend this and quite tough tyres. As this is over a lot of pretty gnarly loose flint gravel which can give tyres a very hard time. Definitely carry spares and a pump. Great views of Stonehenge, couldn't believe the crowds and you want the little path just past the entrance road to the Stones not the entrance road. There is someone there usually to assist you. Cannot recommend this ride highly enough!. There is a steep hill just after Duck lane at Berwick St. James which tops out at 16% " Whitehill". Although the left hand fork on the approach leads to the same place.
