The woodland ride has been created through the rolling countryside overlooking the beautiful Tyne Valley. The ride combines a cross country course with over 30 separate jumps, most of which are graduated in height to accommodate beginners and young horses through to more advanced riders or experienced horses.

The 6.5km route passes between conifer woodlands, rough grassland, arable headlands and hay meadows. In addition to the diversity of the landscape, wildlife abounds with deer, brown hare, badgers, farmland birds and, on occasion, a red squirrel.

High Plains is Course Number 39 of UK Chasers, an organisation which promotes farm rides.
UK Chasers carry out an annual inspection to ensure that it is as safe as possible for members to use.

A strict code of conduct is adhered to in order to regulate activity on the course and ensure that all visitors have a safe and enjoyable day out.
