Horseriding

Milton Keynes has miles of bridleways to enjoy from the saddle. We have a unique resource of surfaced bridleways, largely off road, which can be safely ridden at any time of year.

We advise the wearing of high visibility clothing when riding our horse trails and bridleways.

The Parks Trust offers some car parks which are horse box and trailer friendly, please see below:

Great Linford Manor Park
Campbell Park
Howe Park Wood
Bradwell Abbey
North Loughton Valley Park

Please note these car parks have limited spaces, and we are unable to guarantee spaces.

Thanks to Nikki Parsler and Celia Przyrembel for helping with route maps.

You can follow our pre-planned routes, starting from designated horse box and trailer friendly car parks owned by The Parks Trust on the downloadable links below.
