bridleways

Equestrian walking routes

Bridleways are paths or tracks designated for horseback riding, typically in the British countryside.

They may also be used by pedestrians and cyclists, but not motor vehicles.

The term reflects their original purpose: routes wide enough to lead a horse by the bridle.

The bridleways through the estate were well-maintained for local riders.
