A cracking Indian restaurant right on the Ridgeway - you do not need to take a detour - had a fabulous curry here would really recommend it

St Andrew's Church is in the village of Wanborough in north Wiltshire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the Diocese of Bristol. It has been designated a Grade I listed building by English Heritage. There has been a church at Wanborough since no later than the 11th century, but this was then rebuilt mostly through the 14th (when the tower with spire was added above the crossing) and 15th century (when the west tower was added), and then again restored in 1887. Fun fact: this is one of only three churches in England to have a western tower and a central spire. Ref. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Andrew%27s_Church,_Wanborough

All Saints church is in the small village of Liddington to the south east of Swindon. The church started life in the 13th century and is a part of the Church of England. The church sits in the centre of a well maintained churchyard. An interesting point is that the village name is spelt "Liddington" but the name on the church noticeboard is spelt "Lyddington".

This friendly farm shop and cafe is very conveniently located at the Chiseldon end of the Chiseldon & Marlborough Railway Path. The staff is friendly and the food reasonably priced - I missed the cafe because of my inability to properly read signs 😓 In times of Covid they separated the Cafe from the Shop and the entrance to the Cafe is at the side (it is clearly signed, but I somehow missed it). Regardless, the Scotch egg with smoked bacon in the sausage wrapping was a revelation, and the resupply of fresh water a godsend on a particularly warm day. Thoroughly recommended!

It start with a small hill but easily done for all levels. Not many cars (usually walkers who park on the side) and few bikes and pedestrians. You then arrive at the top and have a nice view on both sides of the roads.
