Beach Ride

We have developed an extension to our popular Hill Forts and Drovers' Route in North Denbighshire and Flintshire. It follows quiet rural lanes and easy bridleways through gentle countryside to the coast near the Point of Ayr. There is of course at the moment slightly more roadwork on these rural lanes than we would like and we hopeto develop more links to off road riding during2010. You can choose to add this on to our existing ride or we can design a shorter mid-week or weekend break incorporating a visit to the beach.

The riding is undemanding with only one short steep gradient down to the coast. If you would like to splash around in the sea and gallop along miles of open sands you will love this ride. Horses are not permitted onto the dunes; this area is protected as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, but there is a pleasant bridleway which passes through the dune area.

Accommodation is provided by local equestrian families. The region is well supplied with alternative leisure activities for non-riders and has extremely easy access from Greater Manchester, the Wirral and the North West.
