The route
[edit]The route is primarily designed and intended for horses and riders and links bridleways between the Pennines and the Cotswolds and The Ridgeway.
It runs north–south between Hartington in the Derbyshire Peak District and Great Barrington.
It passes from Derbyshire where it leaves the Pennine Bridleway (and bridleway networks that run north to Cumbria) through Staffordshire heading south through Weston Park and the Wyre Forest in Worcestershire to enter Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Oxfordshire.
It does encompass some tarmac road riding but is mainly on bridleways and paths.
