Grazing facilities are available for horse riders wising to travel the old pack horsetrails or explore the scenery and heritage of the Pennines. The Pennines Bridleway is a short distance away. The area is very popular with families coming at lambing time and bottle feeding the lambs, or autumn when the calves are born.
