Englefield Estate is in the enviable position of having two areas of land where horse owners and riders can ride in safety and the beauty of the countryside on dedicated bridle paths. Both areas are overseen by Estate Wardens to ensure that only riders with permits have the privilege of using the bridle paths. We think that you will find both areas picturesque and a joy to ride in, jumps are provided on both. However, we would ask that all riders with permits adhere to the rules specified on issue and have their valid disks visible to the Estate Wardens.
