Where to Ride in Essex

Looking for Inspiration and ideas for new rides now Spring is here?

There are so many options. Find out more by clicking on the Where to Ride tab at the top of the home page.

The Little Easton ride is now open for entries. This ride so very nearly didn't happen! Our usual venue, the Stag Pub is now sadly closed, but Mr Miller the landlord suggested we contact the owner of Little Easton Manor and he literally stepped into the breach!! The venue and the surrounding area is very picturesque so bring the family and make a day of it. There is a tea room at the Manor and food and drink is being provided for the ride.

Welcome to Essex Bridleways Association. A registered charity set up in 1979 to preserve and develop the Bridleway network in Essex. Run entirely by volunteers, we work tirelessly campaigning and working with the authorities to improve, restore and create a safe riding environment for riders in Essex. Funds raised through our membership and pleasure rides pay to employ a Bridleway Development Officer and Historic Researcher; both help to further our work. We need your support to continue this important work so please join. As Essex becomes ever more developed it is imperative that equestrians are not forgotten and we are making sure this does not happen. The more members we have, the more likely it is that authorities will realise just how passionate we are to continue enjoying our beautiful Essex countryside.
