The Roman Lakes Ride | New Mills with Katy High Peak

The Roman Lakes Ride | New Mills with Katy

2–3 hours | Up to 6 riders | £55 per rider

If you're looking for a ride that really gets the blood pumping — this is the one.

The Roman Lakes Ride is set in New Mills — a beautiful historic mill town nestled in the Goyt Valley in the heart of the High Peak, Derbyshire. Sitting right on the edge of the Peak District National Park and just 20 minutes from Sheffield and Stockport, New Mills is one of those hidden gems that most people drive past without ever realising what's there — and on horseback it is absolutely spectacular.

This is Katy's more adventurous offering — a faster-paced, varied ride through some of the most dramatic scenery the Peak District has to offer.

Ride the ridge for sweeping panoramic views across the valley, then drop down into the gorge where lakes, waterfalls and streams wind through the landscape beneath you. The rubber tracks offer the perfect footing for canter — and there are plenty of opportunities to open up and really go for it.

No main road work. Just bridleways, big views and brilliant riding.
