This approx 8.5 mile long, history rich route sets out on bridleways where you could at one time have come across infamous highwayman, Black Harry. Passing through Stoney Middleton the route winds via byways and back lanes into the village of Eyam, made famous for the sacrifice the inhabitants made during the Plague outbreak in 1665. Take in some of the poignant grave sites as well as the pretty village. The majority of this route is on surfaced tracks but limited canter opportunities are possible, ground conditions permitting. In the event grass sections are too wet, a detour will be made to remain on surface, extending distance to 10 miles. View the route demo video here:
Worth noting:
Sections of the route are steep, both up and down so both you and your horse will require a reasonable level of fitness.
Going can be stony across much of the route with some rocky and uneven sections.
Some roadwork is necessary, mainly on quiet lanes but there is a busier section round the village where larger vehicles may be encountered. There are two direct crossings of an A road.
Bridleways crossing grassland may be populated with livestock.
There are two Horse Stiles with a pair of sleeper sized rails to step over.
Parking is most suited to trailers and smaller lorries, access for larger vehicles may be possible but please ask for more info before booking.

Payment of £38.50 per horse and rider combination secures your place. For more information please message the page. To book please click the 'Find Tickets' button.
