castle howard york - hacking

[georgiegirl]

Does anyone know where I could find some hacking maps/routes for castle howard?

Its only down the road from me and I tink it would be lovely to go and very useful for getting fit for the coming season.

also....im sure someone once told me there are some gallops you can use there?

thanks!

www.howardianhills.org.uk, they will let know where abouts you can ride around the estate, there was a TB rehab place up there, if the gallops belong to the person who I think it may be, if you contact him he may let you use them as he a nice chap.

The Postcode for Castle Howard is YO60 7DA, use multimaps and that will show you the bridlepaths in the area .
PLEASE stick to them as the gamekeepers are very grumpy !!!

Please beware that many of the bridlepaths cross the main road which can be VERY BUSY !!!

The Gallops that you mention are no longer in use and havent been for many years .
The t/b stud that was mentioned in the other post is a private stud owned by the Easterby family and there gallops are not open to the public

Please message me if you need any more info as i ride in the area every day !!!!
