Ridgeway

Ridgeway refers to a prominent pathway or track, often formed naturally by repeated use over time, typically through the landscape's vegetation or soil. These routes develop as people, animals, or vehicles repeatedly travel along the same path, compacting the ground and making it more visible. Ridgeways can serve as historical transportation routes or boundaries and are important in understanding local history and landscape features. They often preserve centuries of human activity and movement, providing insight into past routes of travel and settlement patterns.
