All i can tell you is that my sister used to ride on the common near Stroud. There are even horses turned out there. The only thing you have to watch is that they are generally full of rabbit holes!

 

[the watcher]

There are very few areas of land that are truly common land, most land belongs to somebody and to ride there without permission or a bridleway present may be trespass unless you can prove access permitted freely over a good number of years.

To be sure of the situation speak to the access and countryside offices at your local county council, or your local BHS access representative.

We ride on common land near us but it is true common land.. what we have to watch out for is bogs!
