Hockwold cum Wilton Bridleroute

The Hockwold cum Wilton Bridleroute is a 10 mile (16km) circular ride, mainly on grass and tracks. The main parts of the route are along Cowles Drove, on Hockwold Fens and on the bank of the Little Ouse River where there are fine views across both New and Brandon Fens.

The leaflet draws attention to two main road crossings where additional care should be taken.
