Pembrey, South West Wales. Forestry leading onto miles and miles of beach. There is an organised Endurance/Funride every September, but riding independently is all year round. No jumping, particularly.
The Cotswold Farm ride looks pretty awesome, too, but I've never been so no personal experience. The Badminton Fun Ride is a good day out.

Yep it would be helpful to know where you are.

I'm East Devon/SW, and if you are looking for beach rides one of my liveries goes down to Exmouth beach so I could ask her where to park?

Also the Pebblebed Heaths (Woodbury Common) are good to ride on - I can give you some good places to park there. However do bear in mind that the military train in this area on occasion, and it can be ehmmm, a little "challenging" at times if your horse isn't used to it!!

I went on the Cotswold farm ride a couple of years ago having stayed over at LLs before it, the ride was fab, loads of jumps :)

Having raced at Pembrey circuit many times, I've always fancied returning down the road with 4 legs on board to go on the sands.

I was there this morning (with the dog) and it was hissing down. The beach is amazing.

They have a x-country course there but I think mainly training days now. 90cm is the max.

Crychan Forest is fabulous you can ride for miles and be truly alone. Very hilly and wet in winter (like most of Wales). Good parking for trailer and corral/hitching rail.
