At approx 7 miles this slightly shorter Manifold Valley route takes in sections of the Manifold Way and Trail before heading up a very scenic dale between the Wetton Hills. There is the opportunity for a canter here and a stream for the horses to splash in. The route is connected into a circuit by small lanes which afford far reaching views across the Staffordshire countryside.

Worth noting:
The Manifold Way and Trail are multi-user so it is likely cyclists and walkers with dogs or buggies may be encountered.
There are a number of bridges to cross on the Manifold Trail, some of which are wooden.
Sections of the dale are stony underfoot.
Livestock may be encountered both on or alongside the route.
Parts of the route are shared with road traffic.
Parking is chargeable, pay and display.
Group size is limited to 6+guide and 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.
