Horse riding at West Walk
Horse riding at West Walk
West Walk provides some fantastic places to ride your horse. From May 2025 equestrians can enjoy riding off bridleway on permissive routes throughout West Walk, Hundred Acres and Wood End without requiring any permit from Forestry England or TROT. Shared use of the forests requires patience and respect for fellow visitors. Please adhere to locally signed no go areas, including picnic and play areas.
Commercial activity or carriage drivers requiring barrier access will still need to apply for a permission via southern.permissions@forestryengland.uk
Horse box parking will continue to be available at Woodend Car Park. Please visit for www.forestryengland.uk/woodend current parking tariffs.
