Macclesfield Forest

This wonderfully varied approx 9 mile route offers forest riding, moorland views and sections waterside with commanding views of Tegg’s nose. Both you and your horse will enjoy a good work out with hilly terrain throughout but the rewards of panoramic views from multiple locations of elevation make it more than worth it. Ground conditions permitting there may be some limited canter opportunities.

Worth Noting:

Going is at times steep both up and down and this can be over rocky and uneven surfaces. This includes a particularly tricky short section directly from the car park which is ridden both up and down.

Much of the route is stony with off road sections hardcore finished.

There are some sections on road, mainly on designated ‘quiet lanes’ but there is one short section which is slightly busier.

There are small water splashes across some tracks.

Livestock may be encountered alongside the route.

There is a section of wide upward steps on one bridleway.

Group size is limited to 6+guide. Places are £45/horse and rider combination. All riders must have their own BHS Gold or equivalent Public Liability Insurance. Under 18s are welcome, but on a first visit must be accompanied on the ride by an adult rider. Book using the 'find tickets' button or message for more info.
