We spent our summer solstice day exploring the stretch of the ancient Ridgeway track between West Ilsley and Letcombe Regis near Wantage.
It wasn't in our thinking at the time but, with hindsight, there can be fewer more appropriate places to be on a day filled with ancient significance. The Ridgeway dates back at least as far as the bronze age and has been in constant use ever since.
On our stretch of the Ridgeway we encountered walkers, runners, cyclists and horseriders. The views over the Oxfordshire and Berkshire countryside were tremendous and, at Letcombe Castle,we saw a wonderful field full of Ox-eye daisies.
