The Historic Ridgeway Project is a three year project beginning in September 2023, to look at the condition of the archaeological monuments in the central section of the route in Oxfordshire and West Berkshire between the Wiltshire border to the west and Nuffield, near Wallingford, to the east.
The project is working with key partners and stakeholders to improve the management of those sites by working with volunteers, and seeking grant funding for management works. The project is also looking to improve interpretation of sites along the route and take advantage of opportunities for education and learning. We, hope through our work, to improve inclusion and diversity in our volunteer tasks, well-being and educational activities along the Ridgeway, which probably represents one of the biggest areas of public open space in Oxfordshire.
