Named after the Flora Thompson book 'Lark Rise to Candleford' this ride covers Flora's old stamping grounds of Candleford and Cottisford and goes through the lovely Tusmore Estate.
Ride Distances: 18.5 km (11 miles) 15 km (9 miles) plus 9.5 km (6 miles). Lovely ride. Flat terrain with mostly good going including a number of nice canters. A few fields are stony - 1 ford to cross (but can be avoided).
There are pheasant feeders and young birds around the Tusmore Estate so take care!
The route will be marked lightly, with an emphasis on places that might be confusing. There will be no marking in the parkland, SO YOU WILL NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON YOUR MAP and TALK ROUND - LOOKING FOR MARKERS & BRIDLEWAY SIGNS. The routes have been plotted on OS Maps and you will be supplied with a link.
