Additional Event Information
Approx 10 miles starting from Bakewell Agricultural Business Centre car park, this route takes in scenic bridleways which cross both the Haddon and Chatsworth Estates, Green lanes and a small amount of roadwork. This creates a very varied ride with stunning woodland paths, sections of open parkland and the picturesque village of Edensor as particular highlights. The main attraction is of course the fabulous views across to Chatsworth house with the deer roaming the parkland. There are some good opportunities for canters if all riders are happy to do so.
Worth noting:
This route includes some steep climbs up through woodlands where trails are narrow and sometimes rocky.
There are some narrow gateways along the route.
Bridleways pass through pasture land where sheep and cattle may be grazing. There are also deer free ranging in the Chatsworth parkland.
A small amount of roadwork is necessary on quiet country lanes.
Parking is pay and display with maximum charges of 6 pounds for all day.
