Forming a circuit around the limestone ridge known as Longstone Edge this shorter approx 6 mile route affords panoramic views throughout. Setting out on country lanes before taking to byways and bridleways, outward bound views are towards Eyam and Curbar edge. Much of the route is on well surfaced tracks but a grassland section offers the opportunity for a lovely uphill canter. Turning for home there’s a glimpse of Chatsworth house with an expansive view across the valley towards Bakewell. View the route demo video here:
Worth noting:
Access is via a narrow single track road and parking is in roadside laybys. As such it is most suitable for trailers and compact horseboxes. Access can however be gained via Wardlow for larger vehicles.
There is a small amount of roadwork on a quiet country lane.
On sections of byway it is possible off road vehicles may share the route.
Some livestock (cows and sheep) may be encountered along the route.
Sections of the route may be stony with tracks hardcore finished.
There is a short section with reduced width and height due to hedge overgrowth.
All riders must have their own Public liability insurance. Under 18s are welcome but on a first visit must be accompanied on the ride by an adult rider. Group sizes are limited to 6+guide. Payment of £38.50 per horse and rider combination secures your place on the ride. For more information please message the page/phone/email/visit the website.
