About

Ridgeway ward encompasses a large rural area in the southwest of the White Horse Hills. It contains several villages, including Kingston Lisle, Sparsholt, and Westcot. The landscape is defined by rolling chalk downland and farmland, with the ancient Ridgeway Path traversing its length. This is a sparsely populated area centred on agriculture and local community life.

The ward's namesake, the prehistoric Ridgeway, is a dominant feature, offering expansive views across the Vale. The area includes the distinctive White Horse hill figure at Uffington, a scheduled ancient monument. Local settlements are characterised by traditional limestone cottages and historic churches, such as St. John the Baptist in Sparsholt. The geography provides a quiet, open setting removed from larger towns.
