Shipley Park Evening Ride

This approx 6 mile long entirely off road route is a good option for less experienced combinations with surfaced tracks available throughout. The route is predominantly walk and trot and aimed at building confidence, but there are some opportunities to canter if riders wish to. Much of the route is tree lined and there are vistas across water with a number of ponds and reservoirs along the way.

Worth noting:

Trails in the country park are multi-user so it is likely cyclists, scooter riders, wheelchairs/mobility scooters and walkers with dogs or buggies will be encountered.

The route crosses a number of wooden bridges.

Some sections of the route pass close by an ongoing construction site with vehicle movements adjacent to the trail and extra barriers currently in place.

There are short sections of stony going and some tracks are hardcore dressed.

There is no road work but vehicles may be encountered on short sections which provide access to premises and car parks.

Under 18s are welcome, but on a first visit must be accompanied on the ride by an adult rider. All horses and riders must have their own BHS Gold or equivalent Public Liability Insurance. Group size is limited to 6+guide. Places cost £38.50 and can be booked using the 'find tickets' button. Please message for more info.
