Is The Ridgeway a good walk?

Walking the Ridgeway is an absolutely magical experience—the trail feels so remote and removed from normal life. It's like this liminal place that exists out of time, which is easy to imagine due to the wealth of ancient sites along the route. The Ridgeway is a modern National Trail, established in 1972.
