Approx 5 miles long, this entirely off road route offers an ideal introduction to hacking for young or inexperienced combinations. Going is entirely surfaced and gently undulating. Much of the route is waterside with pleasing sections through trees and past grassy fields. A visit can be made to the refreshment kiosk at Carsington Water Visitor Centre before making the return trip. Worth noting:
Carsington is a multi-user trail so expect to meet cyclists and walkers with dogs or pushchairs. Off road wheelchairs are also sometimes encountered.
There may be livestock beside the route.
Trails are hardcore surfaced and may be stony in places.
Parking is pay on exit with maximum charges of £4 for all day.
Group sizes are limited to 6 + guide. All riders must have their own Public Liability insurance to cover themselves and their horses. Under 18s are welcome, but on a first visit, must be accompanied on the ride by an adult. Places are £38.50 and can be booked using the 'Find Tickets' button.
