With views over the Thames valley, the White Horse, Uffington Castle and Wayland Smithy are set along the ancient Ridgeway.
Uffington ‘Castle’, which occupies the summit of White Horse Hill, is a rare and outstanding example of a large Iron Age hillfort. The famous White Horse is the oldest chalk-cut hill figure in Britain, perhaps over 3,000 years old. A mile walk along the Ridgway, described as Britain's oldest road, leads to Wayland Smithy, an Early Neolithic chambered long barrow.
There are stunning views from the hill and on a windy day the perfect place to blow away the cobwebs.

I always take visitors to see the Tithe Barn either enroute or coming back from visiting the Uffington White Horse. It's generally very quiet with a donation box at the entrance - the size and space of the barn is something to be seen.

The picturesque ruins of Minster Lovell Hall, a 15th century Oxfordshire manor house, lie in a beautiful rural setting beside the River Windrush. They include a fine hall, tower and nearby dovecote.
Minster Lovell Hall was built in the 1430s by William, Baron of Lovell and Holand - one of the richest men in England. It was later home to Francis, Viscount Lovell, a close ally of Richard III. After several changes of hands the hall was abandoned and eventually demolished in the 18th century, leaving the extensive remains that stand today.
