A fifteen minute ride in any direction from the yard takes you to excellent hacking country, with acres of beautiful scenery at Polesden Lacey and around Ranmore Common. Varied terrain and hours of pleasure await you on these routes around National Trust heath and woodland, covering Fetcham and Mickleham Downs, Norbury Park or even the North Downs Way and Box Hill.
For shorter rides Bookham Common is also close by and it is possible to do a 'quick loop' if you are short of time or extend your ride to a couple of hours or more by covering the areas of Oxshott Heath or Ockham and Wisley Commons.
For the competitive horse owner, Great Bookham Equestrian Centre is within easy hacking distance, where there are regular shows, clinics and taster sessions in almost all disciplines throughout the year. A popular and well attended venue and local too!
Great Bookham Equestrian Centre is situated just over 1 mile away from Littleyard Liveries and can be reached without too much road-work. GBEC has a permanent cross country course and offers a wide range of tuition and events.
