Black Rocks Nervous/Novice Evening Ride

This slightly shorter route is ideal for those whose horses are building fitness. Starting from Black Rocks car park and approx 5 miles long this ride incorporates what is, in my opinion, the most scenic portion of the High Peak Trail with commanding views across the valley to Matlock and beyond. The route takes in part of the Midshires way, woodland, small lanes and bridleways across open fields. This presents a good opportunity to try cantering out, equally stick to walk and trot only.
