AS a curtain raiser to Wayfaring, the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty has released a video that explores the ancient routes of the Icknield Way.
Wayfaring is an outdoor art installation and performance being held at Basildon Park from July 18-21 and is inspired by this route.
Claimed as the oldest road in Britain, The Icknield Way is a chain of braided tracks running along a chalk spine, from the cliffs of Dorset to the Norfolk Coast.
Their origins have been lost in time, however, pre-historic landmarks across the landscape is how it can be traced today.
Wayfaring is created by artists Mandy Dike and Ben Rigby, who work together as And Now: and co-commissioned by the Corn Exchange in Newbury with support from the Arts Council.
