Riding a horse can be one of the best feelings in the world. The connection you have with your horse is so special and allows you to have an amazing experience while riding. Another important aspect is your environment. If your surroundings are just as beautiful as your horse, it will amplify your experience and make your ride far more enjoyable. Here are three of what we think are the nicest trails in Cheshire.

Firstly, we have the Delamere loop. This is a 35km or 22-mile route mainly for horse riders. The route follows bridleways, minor roads and permissive access through the countryside of Cheshire. 19km or 12 miles of the route is on surfaced roads. The rest of the loop is along public rights of way and permissive routes. Completing the loop in one day would be a challenge and so it is possible to stay at one of the B&B accommodations along the loop which allow riders and their horses to stay. The loop can be joined at any point. We enjoy being surrounded by Delamere Forest and the large bodies of water. These both make for a beautiful picturesque back dop for your ride.

You can also explore Cheshire’s spectacular parklands on horseback through Tatton Park. You can ride down the ancient bridleways that cross Tatton Park. You will be surrounded by wild deer and have the magnificent house in sight.

Lyme Park also offers fantastic horse riding. It is a spectacular estate on the edge of the Peak District National Park. Like Tatton the grounds are littered with deer and the impressive house will be visible during the ride. There are also stunning wild moorlands.
