Ridgeway National Trail Interpretation Board – Streatley Warren
The project aims to support Mend the Gap by overcoming the barriers some groups have to accessing the National Landscapes and improving access to the Ridgeway National Trail at Streatley Warren.
The proposal places a new interpretation board at Streatley Warren, as part of the Historic Ridgeway Project. The board will include information relating to the exceptional prehistoric and Roman field systems but also on the special ecology and landscape of the surrounding area. The board will also link to an online virtual map connecting up with other sites along the central section of the Ridgeway National Trail

Working together to interpret heritage
In September 2026 Mend the Gap brought West Berkshire Council Archaeologist, the Ridgeway National Landscape staff and volunteers and North Wessex Downs National Landscape staff together to make a short film to show how they are all supporting heritage interpretation on the Ridgeway National Trail.
