[TheCurlyPony]

Hi

Escrick Park Estate A19

Love it my favourite place

Brilliant post!
I havent really been anywhere away from home much (though I hope to)
We went to Escrick park which was GREAT fun (met up with hho'ers )
Also been to fountains Abbey

I live in riding distance to Temple Newsam which is lovely (although in the nearly 5 years Ive been here Ive never actually ridden there :O
And theres loads of fab hacking here!

Castle Howard! Tonnes of bridle ways. Parking just off the main castle Howard road. There is a suggested route on the ride Yorkshire website but all you really need is an os map!!

Escrick Park, hoping to go tomorrow, weather permitting.

Fraisthorpe Beach, £5 to park and you can go for a good few miles

Definitely agree about castle Howard, we're stabled a couple of miles away but all the bridleways link up and you can go for hours.

Where are you lissa???

I also second Fraisthorpe! Worth the 1 1/2 hour road trip!

Amotherby, couple of miles from malton.

if you're the other end of yorkshire like I am, then try Redcar Beach, or pretty much anywhere on the North York Moors.... acres and acres of pony playground

Lissa: Is yours the yard right in the middle of Amotherby or outside to the North?

 

[Lissa]

Its on the main road from Malton, so probably what you'd class as the middle compared to the one outside if I'm thinking of the same one.

Another lover of Escrick Park. Also been to Castle Howard and Sledmere House when they run the Pleasure Rides - they are great fun. A bit scary with the hills though. We are just flat, flat, flat where we are so not used to any hills.

I like Escrick, and I want to get to Castle Howard and the Sledmere ride this year. I have lovely hacking round my yard - straight onto greenlanes and bridleways.

Kiplingcotes, easy parking at the old station and several different loops you can do of varying distance, lovely countryside and although quite a bit on the roads they are quiet with lovely wide verges that you can still have a canter on

Friend and I went this morning and had a lovely ride.

Lissa, is the hacking good out that way?

 

[Lissa]

Yeah its fantastic, used to be stabled on other side of Norton and there were hardly any decent bridleways. Now have tonnes.

I can vouch for Lissa! I am 10 mins drive from her and i am could go from her village to mine without touching a road!
