Good saddleries in England

[Olliedog]

I know,very broad question!

Basically me and my family will be going to Europe in July (my first time there.Yay!). We'll be hitting the Uk first, pretty much hanging around London for a few days before going across Bristol way, heading up to York (possible via Manchester area) and finally Edinburgh before flying to France.

Sorry for the vague description, I know what a ridiculously large area that covers

but it's not 100% sorted yet, so I'm pretty flexible on location. FWIW finding a decent pair of leather chaps and boots is topping my list at the moment

When you're over in York you could visit Rideaway.

Just outside of London there's Frogpool Manor in Chislehurst, which has lovely stuff

I think Harrods still sell some horsey stuff as well, but you'd be paying a lot extra for the privilege of shopping there

Still, it's worth a browse

Hope you have a good trip over here
