The Ridgeway UK Public Information Film

[@BelfastGav]

This one seemed like a particular favourite on Saturday lunchtimes before 'Grandstand' in late 1970s.
It was beguiling but also felt a little bit chilling in parts.

The real England. It is still there if you look for it and care for it enough.

Thanks for sharing this!! As someone named Ridgway, I've added this to my bucket list!

[@tiniarm685]

I did the ridgeway some years ago and will walk it again in three weeks - it's so beautiful!!

I'm filing this under Folk Horror.

This inspired me to walk and the music was played at my wedding

I remember this. People make and share their own public information films now.

[@DeanSinger-ky7md]

wanted to walk the whole route, one of the best PIF

Used to see this when it first came out in the 70s

[@hedleythorne]

@@tweedyoutdoors it is a real find, isn’t it!

[@urbanrider429]

Our country as it used to be,2024 and it’s unrecognisable

[@MrVinylista]

Strangely though The Ridgeway is pretty much identical even now.

[@peterhughes8776]

Does anyone know what the music is being played over this?

[@DeanSinger-ky7md]

sure was in the charts years ago
