In the online literature, there are those who will try to persuade you that the 612km Greater Ridgeway route “no longer exists”. There is a problem with that statement, inasmuch as there has never been an official route of that name — it has always been the chaining together of four routes.
These routes follow the ancient route between the English Channel and the North Sea: it has been used by traders, warfarers and wayfarers for about 5000 years, and keeps mainly to the high ground. The Wessex Ridgeway is the least officialised of the four: Dorset Council promotes it within their bounds, but the rest will be mainly off-the-map discovery. It is marked on OS Maps, as are the other three routes. There is an overall set of public transport connections (103 locations, 8 matrices) for the Greater Ridgeway.
