A bridle way is a path or track that is specifically intended for horse riders, bicyclists or hikers. It is typically a route through countryside or woodlands that provides a scenic and peaceful route for people to enjoy. Over time, the term bridle way has become synonymous with many other words such as trail, path, footpath, lane, and track. Each word is reflective of the specific context in which it is being used, and may denote the size, surface or purpose of the route. Regardless of the word chosen, taking a walk, riding your horse, or cycling on a bridle way is an ideal way to enjoy the natural beauty of the great outdoors.
