Access to be reinstated for riders at Alderley Edge
The National Trust is creating a new riding route at Alderley Edge in Cheshire, and hopes it will be operational in the New Year.
Katherine Ryan, of the National Trust said: “We’ve had a number of requests over the years for riding to be reinstated on the Edge, and we’re now in a position to allow riders again, in a controlled manner.”
The route will only be accessible to licence holder and riders will also need to prove they have third-party insurance.
“Licensees will be expected to comply with a series of conditions and adhere to a code of conduct. The fees will directly assist the management of Alderley Edge,” said Ms Ryan.
