A road that is over 5000 years old


The UK's oldest road is the Ridgeway. It's over 5000 years old and stretches 85 miles (137km),
from Overton Hill near Avebury, Wiltshire, to Ivinghoe Beacon near Tring, Buckinghamshire.
It passes Wayland's Smithy a Neolithic burial mound and blacksmith's forge and nearby
Wantage the birth place of King Alfred the Great.
