Pleasley Pits and Silverhill

An approx 9 mile long entirely off-road route utilising the Teversal Trail and Phoenix Greenways. This circular route travels first to the Pleasley Pits country park, passing close by the headstocks. Continuing along trails passing through woodland and arable fields, the route passes into the Silverhill country park. This section is pleasingly tree lined, and affords views across the surrounding countryside from some elevation. Surfaced going is available throughout, but there are some limited canter opportunities, ground conditions and traffic permitting.

Worth Noting:

Parking is suitable for trailers and compact lorries, HGVs may find the entrance tight.

Trails are hardcore surfaced and may be stony

It is likely cyclists, walkers with dogs, buggies or off road wheelchairs may be encountered on the trails.

Some sections are along embankments which are not fenced

Unfortunately, unauthorised motorcycles are sometimes encountered.

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.
