Dry Hill rides

Locate this riding area on our interactive map

Travel back to an age before motorised transport as you follow in the tracks of our ancestors on these routes in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty between the North and South Downs.

The area near East Grinstead is well known for its archaeology and the Iron Age hill fort at Dry Hill Camp is an important historical feature. The 24 acre site dates back to about the first century BC.

Patches of ancient broadleaf woodland are located along the bridleways and offer diverse habitats for plants and animals.

The riding routes comprise four loops with nine access links, providing rides of up to 15.5 miles. The routes are mainly bridleways with sections of quiet minor road.

Limited parking is available for horseboxes and trailers in the lay-by on Ospode Lane, along the side of Ford Manor Road, and on the old road at Marsh Green.
