| UK: Wales and West Midlands: Three Rivers Ride |
The 3 Rivers Ride is a new addition to the National Bridleroute
Network, developed by The British Horse Society
and partner local authorities. It crosses the Rivers Lugg, Wye and Usk, as it runs from Tidbatch in Worcestershire
(and the Sabrina Way near Clifton upon Teme), through Herefordshire,
into Wales near Pennant, then
through the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons National Park
to end at the Brecon Beacons National Park Visitor Centre,
close to the 85 miles of the Epynt Way which will be opened
quite soon.
A set of leaflets covering the route, and an accommodation list covering horses and humans, are
available from The British Horse Society in return for £2 and your
donation to the Ride UK project.
Cheques should be made payable to 'The British Horse Society'.
