Re: The Ridgeway Pilgrimage (Sacred Way)

I wasn't going to mention this on forum as I feel ambivalent about it. May be helpful for people walking or riding the entire length of the Ridgeway though.

Swindon Borough Council's plans to finance the proposed new visitor centre at Barbury by selling off adjoining land for development have moved another step forward with the submission of a planning application for the northern site (both sites are to the east of the Barbury access road; the southern site is the one on which the ruined bungalow now stands). The proposed development on the northern site consists of a B&B block with 8 rooms; a bunkhouse with 24 bunks; a stable block for 6 horses; a camping meadow; a horse paddock; and a site manager's house. The buildings are a mix of single and two-storey and are arranged around a courtyard which will have 12 car parking spaces. The various uses are in line with the planning brief. The site entrance is proposed to be almost opposite the Barbury car park entrance.
