Where is good to take your horse for off-road riding around the Manchester and surrounding areas?

[eventer28]

I want to box-up and take my horse for a ride somewhere in and around the Manchester area this weekend. I have checked the equestrian diary for pleasure/farm rides but don't seem to be able to find one without driving too far. I have been to Summerford Park and Daisy Nook country park - Any other suggestions?

Where are you based? If you are not too far from the Wilmslow area I can make a few suggestions

Mary Townley loop (I might have spelt that wrong). If you want an overnight look at Peers Clough Packhorses.

Or pop to Cheshire for Delamere forest.

Kelsall, Craven ride, the beach, delamere, there are bridle paths around delamere - google will provide details and map

Try Tockholes Lancashire also a good ride at Rivington Nr Bolton.
There is a great face book page called Off road hacking around Lancashire.
Super helpful people and links to maps of local rides.
