Can be busy in summer with BBQs which may ruin the enjoyment a little.

Gibsmere to Hoveringham Bridleway

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A combination of gravel farm tracks and grass tracks, passing by the gravel pit lakes and ponds that are now home to newts. Was lovely and dry when we rode this section but the western end, near Hoveringham, looks like it has the potential to get very muddy when it's wet.
