If it’s grass you want, it’s grass you’ll get at The Grove, an impressive equestrian facility with 70 acres of paddocks and 30 stables. Plus, there’s a four-bedroom pad for you.
The Grove occupies a private hillside location in the Lincolnshire Wolds village of Scamblesby in Lincolnshire, where there are plenty of bridleways and hills perfect for fitness work. The vendors currently run a Thoroughbred breeding operation from here.
The Grove lies 15 minutes from the Georgian market town of Louth and 43 minutes from the county city of Lincoln. Commute to London directly from the mainline station in under two hours.
Ride on the beach at Theddlethorpe, just half-an-hour away by car.
Local equestrian centres include LRAC (14 minutes), Hill House EC (32 minutes), Willowbanks EC (34 minutes), Caistor EC (37 minutes), and Sheepgate EC (46 minutes).
If you like your racing, head to a meeting at Market Rasen (26 minutes), Nottingham (1hr 31 minutes) or Beverley racecourses (1hr 15 minutes).
Hunt with the South Wold or Brocklesby and enjoy a day’s pointing at Revesby Races (24 minutes).
