Where is the best riding in Britain?

[madmav]

If I decide to run away (and it is very tempting right now) where in this country would it be best to flee with a dog and a horse for that perfect freedom to have the perfect riding (and maybe with a brilliant instructor near by!)

 

[fruity]

well after my ride the other day in Windsor Great Park i'd say there!

 

[hadfos]

Just stay away from scunthorpe,pmsl!!!I would love to ride round scotland it it wernt so damn cold,lol,gorgeous place!!!

 

[Maesfen]

Exmoor or Northumberland!

 

[Eaglestone]

The Surrey Hills .... Leith Hill, Pitch Hill, Holmbury Hill

.... 10 years plus of lovely riding holidays there on my old boy, but alas it is all too much for him now

Can recommend a lovely Bed & Breakfast for Horses up there, if anyone interested

You would be hard pressed to beat the riding on Exmoor.

 

[smilincow21]

Definatly Northumberland, especially round about Kielder Forest, its a very well kept secret!

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

Ireland , on the west coast

 

[Sugarplum Furry]

[charlottenicol]

[pinkcatkin]

Here! We have thousands of acres of forestry commission land to play in and its heaven.

 

[jenbleep]

Exmoor and Dartmoor

I used to keep my horses in South Oxfordshire and we had loads of lovely bridlepaths to ride on - you could be out for hours and hardly do any roadwork.

I now live in Lincolnshire and the hacking's crap where we are.

I second that!

 

[Bosworth]

Got to be Dartmoor - thousands of acres to ride in - no bridle paths - just total open access and very few gates. Oh and we have great instructors nearby, good competition venues and easy access to the motorway

Id say Scotland probably! But then I live here and dont hack but if you go down round Loch Ness or something, its lovely round there.

 

[lowbardon]

deffinatly not northumberland it not good at all

 

[Zobaby]

The part of Scotland where I am is ok. We've got lovely bridlepaths right across the road with woods and small beaches. And a fairly quiet village to wander about. Then there's an amazing beach which is very wide, shallow water with very little people on it just 10 mins in the box down the road, and massive forests that you could get lost in 10 mins in the other direction!
It's just a shame that Morris doesn't hack...
