The Ridgeway (original) (raw)

About DBpedia

The Ridgeway is a ridgeway or ancient trackway described as Britain's oldest road. The section clearly identified as an ancient trackway extends from Wiltshire along the chalk ridge of the Berkshire Downs to the River Thames at the Goring Gap, part of the Icknield Way which ran, not always on the ridge, from Salisbury Plain to East Anglia. The route was adapted and extended as a National Trail, created in 1972. The Ridgeway National Trail follows the ancient Ridgeway from Overton Hill, near Avebury, to Streatley, then follows footpaths and parts of the ancient Icknield Way through the Chiltern Hills to Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire. The National Trail is 87 miles (140 km) long.

dbo:abstract The Ridgeway, englisch für Bergkamm und Weg, ist eine Altstraße im südlichen England. Der Weg erstreckt sich über eine Länge von 135 km, beginnt in Overton Hill (Wiltshire) im Westen und endet in Ivinghoe Beacon (Buckinghamshire) im Osten. Heute ist die Strecke als The Ridgeway National Trail ausgewiesen. Entlang dieser Strecke befinden sich eine Reihe von Sehenswürdigkeiten aus der Steinzeit, Bronzezeit und Eisenzeit, darunter Grim’s Ditch und Liddington Castle sowie das Uffington White Horse und Uffington Castle. Vor 5000 Jahren könnte The Ridgeway ein Teil einer Strecke gewesen sein, die von der Küste von Dorset bis The Wash in Norfolk führte. (de) El Ridgeway es un sendero histórico ubicado en el sur de Inglaterra. Ha sido descrita como la carretera más antigua de Gran Bretaña. Los ridgeways son un tipo particular de carreteras prehistóricas que explotan la superficie dura de las crestas de las colinas como un pavimento con mantenimiento cero, aunque a menudo presentan la desventaja de tener gradientes más escarpados a lo largo de su trazado, y anchos a veces muy estrechos. La sección claramente identificada como un sendero prehistórico se extiende desde Wiltshire, a lo largo de la cresta de caliza de las colinas del , hasta llegar al Río Támesis en el estrechamiento del valle conocido como Goring Gap.​ La ruta fue adaptada y se extendido en 1972 cuando fue incluida en la "Red de senderos nacionales" (National Trails). El Ridgeway National Trail sigue el antiguo ridgeway de Overton Hill, cerca de Avebury, hasta Streatley, en Berkshire, desde donde sigue partes del antiguo sendero de Icknield (Icknield Way), atravesando las Colinas de Chiltern (Chiltern Hills) hasta la colina de Ivinghoe Beacon, en Buckinghamshire. El Ridgeway National Trail tiene una longitud total de 87 millas (140 km). (es) The Ridgeway is a ridgeway or ancient trackway described as Britain's oldest road.

The Ridgeway) — одна из древнейших (более поздняя, чем Свит-Трек) дорог Англии, существующая со времён неолита (возникла около 3000 г. до н. э.). Длина дороги составляет 135 км, она проходит от Овертон-Хилла (Уилтшир) на западе до Айвинго-Бикон (Бакингемшир) на востоке. Риджуэйская дорога проходит по возвышенностям (англ. ridge, откуда и название) к западу от и через покрытые лесами Чилтернские холмы к востоку от Темзы, огибая непроходимые когда-то леса и болота в расположенных рядом долинах. Риджуэй проходит мимо многих археологических и исторических памятников эпохи неолита, бронзового и железного веков, в том числе таких, как: * Эйвбери — мегалитическое сооружение, подобное Стоунхенджу; * , и — крепости на холмах бронзового и железного веков; * — неолитический каирн, относится к типу Северн-Котсуолдских гробниц * Уффингтонская белая лошадь — выдолбленное в холме близ Уффингтон-Касла и заполненное меловой породой изображение белой лошади, предположительно бронзовый век; * — насыпь длиной около 8 км, созданная в эпоху железного века близ , возможно, как демаркационный знак; * — крупный сарсеновый валун с отверстиями, издающий характерный звук, если дунуть в одно из них.
