South Dorset Ridgeway Heritage Project

The South Dorset Ridgeway is outstanding and is considered by many experts to be as important as Stonehenge and Avebury for revealing the lives of our ancestors. In recognition of this, the Heritage Lottery Fund has supported an exciting programme of events from now until 2011.

This exciting project aims to help you discover more about this very special landscape and the people who have shaped it over the last 8000 years

There are a number of ways in which you can get involved with the project, or explore the Ridgeway for yourself. Why not take a walk in some beautiful countryside with outstanding views. Visit our Events page for up to date information about what's going on, in and around the Ridgeway.

Publications to support the project have been produced, contact the South Dorset Ridgeway Heritage Project Officer for further information.

Project partners: Natural England, English Heritage, National Trust, Dorset County Museum, Dorset County Council, Dorset Countryside Rangers Service, Bournemouth University, Wessex Archaeology, West Dorset District Council, Weymouth & Portland District Council, Dorset Association of Parish & Town Councils
