| UK: Yorkshire and the Humber: Newtondale Horse Trail (Regional Route) |
The Newtondale Horse Trail follows a 37 1/2 mile (60km) circular route
on bridleways and roads through the dramatic gorge
of Newtondale in the North York Moors National Park.
It includes Newbridge in the south and Grosmont in
the north, but the countryside itself is remote and has few
settlements. Accommodation should be booked in advance. The
trail takes you through some of the
most striking scenery of the North York Moors,
from farmland and forests to high open moorland. Be prepared for open moors and
unpredicatable weather.
The North York Moors National Park published this guide
to the trail in 1995. It contains a description and
good scale map (at 1:25,000 scale) of the trail,
and informative notes about the locality.
The Guide can be obtained from by post
North Yorks National Park Information Service,
The Old Vicarage,
Bondgate,
Helmsley,
York
Alternatively, order online by clicking on the cover,

The North York Moors National Park is shown on the following Outdoor Leisure (1:25,000) maps.
The North York Moors National Park produces a leaflet entitled Essential Information for Newtondale Horse Trail Riders which provides a list of places on the Trail offering accommodation and livery.
