Name: Carsington Water Circular Route
Start: 2026-02-13T10:00:00+00:00
Location: Carsington Water Visitor Centre

Approx 9 miles around the Carsington Water circuit taking in spectacular views across the water. This is mainly a walk and trot ride but there are some canter opportunities if all riders are happy to do so. This route is ideal for those with young or inexperienced horses wanting to try them out in a small safe group. Equally this would suit the less confident hacker as the terrain is accessible and the going predictable. There is also no need to worry about the gates as your guide will take care of all of them!
