Maps for both the short cross country course and the extended hacking are availabe.
Black arrows indicate the cross country circuit. Blue arrows are used for the extended hacking, both courses are linked.
We have several Rideway Stewards who ride the course during the day who will be checking for payment details
There is a large parking area with ample turning space and good access onto the A19.
There are two courses, the Cross Country Route which is a circular 7 miles and the Extended Hacking is 20 miles.
If you have not visited Rideways previously, we would ask you to contact the office. During the week the Estate Office is open to take your fees and issue maps and a pass for the day. During the weekend, we ask you to place your fees in the box attached to the fence to the right of the notice board. Place fees in an envelope, clearly marked with your name, address and vehicle registration detail, number of riders etc.
Day passes are for the whole day so you are able to ride the course more than once. We have a good grass area for tethering your horse or pony if you wish to linger. In the summer, visitors often bring a picnic to enjoy in the surroundings.
Obstacles vary around the course from very small simple logs to solid 1m uprights. All are very friendly and in most cases 5m wide, however, obstacles are all optional and if you do not want to jump, simply hack past.
