The Lincolnshire Wolds is an ideal place for all equestrian sports. There are ample leafy country lanes and wide grass verges. There are many bridleways, few gates and a lot of horse friendly places along the way.

Bridleways provide a lovely view of the countryside and an excellent location for exercising a horse or pony. However, it is up to members of the public to maintain them, making sure they remain open for every one to enjoy.

Lincolnshire County Council and the British Horse Society have produced a booklet of numerous circular horse rides for the county, some of which explore the Wolds' countryside. The books are available to purchase from Lincolnshire County Council, Development Directorate on 01522 782070.
