Wantage

  • Wantage is a typical market town at the foot of the Lambourn Downs, in the south of the Vale of the White Horse and close to the ancient Uffington White Horse itself.

  • Above Wantage you can access the Old White Track, called the Ridgeway, which runs from Avebury in Wiltshire to Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire.

Former residents include

  • King Alfred - his birthplace
  • Sir John Betjeman - the poet laureate
