                                                                If you like to try riding in different areas, these routes are for you. The rides listed here are not necessarily suitable for everyone. Some will depend on the fitness of yourself and your horse so please read the notes on the relevant web page before making your decision. For events or for large numbers of horses riding at the same time please contact the landowner first in case you need facilities or might hinder land management operations.

                                                                When riding these routes, we would ask you to consider:
                                                                • if you would like to take your dog to a new riding area please leave it at home unless you know you have it under complete control at all times and remember it is an offence not to remove your dog's faeces from a public open space - this includes paths, tracks and carparks
                                                                • If your horse dungs on what is obviously a multi-use path please dismount and kick it off the track. These paths are used by a variety of other users including those who may be partially sighted, cyclists, walkers with children etc. Although we think horse dung is innocuous, most others do not! Please do not leave dung in car parks
                                                                • Whilst out and about, please remember the three principles of the Access legislation: take responsibility for your own actions, respect the interests of other people and care for the environment
