experienced in a single day.
The
views over the dry-stone walls from horseback are simply breathtaking
and so is the weather! Be prepared to experience the full range of
British weather, ever changing ans sometimes in the space of one hour.
The Pennine Bridleway and Settle Loop
The
Pennine Bridleway is a new 350 mile (560km) long National
Trail
in the north of England. The Bridleway will enter the
Yorkshire
Dales National Park at Long Preston and weave through the Dales via
Settle,
Malham Moor, Feizor, Austwick, Selside, and Newby Head, leaving
the National Park at the Cumbria County Council boundary above Garsdale.
Part
of the family of 15 National Trails in England and Wales and the first
to be designed specifically for horse-riders, off-road cyclists and
walkers to enjoy, the entire Pennine Bridleway will eventually run from
the High Peak Trail in Derbyshire to Byrness, Northumberland. It
follows a good mix of drove roads and old pack horse routes, linked
with newly created stretches of bridleway. The trail takes in some of
the greatest scenery of the North of England.
