Places To Ride Your Horse
Guests can ride in the fields at the farm, and there is an excellent network of bridleways close by. Little Budworth Country Park is only a couple of miles away, and has many bridleways, across heathland and light forest.
The new Delamere Loop passes the end of the lane leading to Hill House Farm, this is a new 22 mile loop ride running partway along the Whitegate Way round in a circle, taking in Delamere Forest, Primrosehill Wood and Little Budworth Country Park. Whilst most of the route follows quiet country lanes and off-road trails it is occasionally necessary to cross busy roads. The route comprises some 12 miles of surfaced roads the rest of the route is 'off-road'. The Delamere Loop can be joined at any point and is marked by blue and white fingerposts and waymark discs.
