does anyone know of big estates that allow you to pay a fee to ride of road, when i lived in somerset we could pay this was before the trot scheme came around the country also any recomendations of livery yard to rent etc would be great

There is a TROT route on the Stapleford Estate now(just outside Melton Mowbray) - 20 miles of off road riding as well as all the surrounding bridleways. I know its Rutland so not really where you were looking but maybe worth bearing in mind for weekends?

There's tons of bridleways in the Vale of Belvoir! have a look on the OS leisure map of area;

East of Nottm, Lowdham, Caythorpe, Hoveringham way;

As duggan says, East/West Leake is good;

Looking to move to Nottm myself when we've sold our place, so If anyone hears of anything for sale in the areas mentioned above with 3 acres pm me please!!
 
I've just joined the Stapleford TROT and am boxing over once a week (snow permitting!) to get some off road riding. There is also a livery yard just outside Whissendine which leads directly onto the TROT if its of any interest.
 
I'm in East Leake and think the hacking around here is really good as others have said, also Bunny is very nice with options of leading off to East Leake and surrounding villages if wanted.
 
I'm so surprised everyone rates east/west leake, bunny - I think it's useless! Have I missed something? The roads are sooo busy and there are too few bridlepaths to make up for this. I find north leics/south notts overall quite poor because it is so built-up. Preswold estate is good if you can get on it, but again you have to hack down some pretty hair-raising roads to reach it most directions.

It's prob not far north enough for you, but I'm based in swithland and its fantastic - a massive network of well-maintained bridlepaths that lead straight onto bradgate park, swithland woods, broombriggs farm trail and beacon park/all-weather gallops. You can be out all day and hardly touch a road!
