About UK Bridleway Finder
Having recently started horse riding, I found it difficult to find good routes to go hacking. Being a nerdy software developer I decided to create UK Bridleway Finder to help me and the equestrian community find hacking routes in their area.
If you're using our map to find trips away with your horse, Harry Hall have a great guide to the UK's top 10 horse-friendly stay-cations.
UK Bridleway Finder is solely developed and managed by myself, but I plan to keep improving it and adding features to make it the best place to search for bridleways in the UK.
Features
- Search by street, village, town, county, postcode, etc.
- Filter map by bridleways, restricted byways, byways open to all traffic, and footpaths.
- Route access verified against public authority open data.
- View details about routes, including designation, highway, horse access, surface, smoothness, track type, difficulty, and trail visibility.
- View comments from other riders about their experience on routes, and add your own comments. Find related routes that connect to the route you're viewing.
- Favourite bridleways to find them again easily at a later point.
