Short trail section. There is something for everyone. Jumps, beginners can ride next to the jumps

Beautiful setting, but appearances are deceiving! The stately estate is visibly falling into disrepair.

A former military training area with waterholes, numerous hedgerows, and a fair amount of history. The meadows are largely untouched and kept short by sheep, cattle, and horses.
