Bedfordshire Horse Rides 1 - Upper Dean and Yelden

Introduction

Ride described clockwise, as this provides best canter opportunities, but can be ridden either way. No gates on full route but two on the option to shorten or split the ride.
This route is mostly on field headlands and farm tracks with several grassy canters. There is about 2 miles of roadwork on the full route, rather more if the route is split into two rides, on generally quiet lanes as described.
