Sadly 'walking' doesn't always just mean that when in connection with the Ridgeway - it also means parking.


Although the Swindon - Devizes bus can be used to access the Ridgeway (e.g. at Barbury) without a car.



Although I only really know the Uffington to Avebury section of the Ridgeway, I would say it is challenging getting up onto the Ridgeway by bus as it always involves an uphill walk. There is a bus from Swindon to Hungerford which goes through Ashbury where there is an uphill path which will take you near to Waylands Smithy and Uffington Hillfort. Barbury Castle is difficult ... there is a rare bus which serves a housing development built on the site of what was the RAF Princess Alexandra Hospital then an uphill walk or otherwise a much longer walk up from Wroughton, the Swindon to Devizes bus (49) does go through Wroughton.

Edited: Correction .. the bus that goes through Ashbury is the Newbury bus (not Hungerford)
