Dartmoor, there are so many options it gets difficult to choose where to ride each day!
I think it depends where in the Peaks you are. I'm from the Dark Peak area near Glossop and it's exactly as Tarragon describes - lots of bridleways or public byways but they do tend to be fairly stony. The Longdendale Trail is nice but again, stony in parts and can be very busy at the weekends with walkers and cyclists. Gorgeous though!
Wow, I'd love to do one of the sponsored rides round chatsworth!Yes, I guess the Peak District is a big place. I’m near Chatsworth - we’ve got fab hacking all round me 😊
Wouldnt be Chobham common today or onwards for a few weeks, hectares up in flames much of the dayMy favourites have been Chobham Common, the Surrey Hills and the New Forest.
Currently on the South Downs which are good but while the views are incredible the riding isn't as varied as the others.
Did find quite an few bridleways today in the wolds around Belchford hill
I grew up in Chorleywood, Herts and took the hacking for granted. Now I've moved to Stafford the hacking here is rubbish and I so miss the miles and miles of rides we used to go on. There was still a fair amount of roadwork but so many different rides to go on with plenty of places for a canter or gallop. Of course like most other places so close to London it is becoming more built up and some of the old rides are lost which is a shame. If I could pick my house and land up and take it somewhere else i'd choose Flaunden in Herts. Lots of quiet lanes and off road rides.
We are on the edge of the Goyt Valley so very lucky with our hacking!
Been beautiful today pleased your exploring has proved fruitful
Hi all
Where can I find endless peaceful hacking with beautiful views? Hope to be retired from work, so remote is not a problem. Planning the next house move....
