Saddle up for an unforgettable cart and horse-driving adventure in Yorkshire! Experience the thrill of driving a two-wheel cart through the picturesque rideways of a private estate near Selby. This one-of-a-kind experience takes place at Escrick Park Estate, nestled between York and Selby, boasting miles of scenic rideways that make it a haven for horses, riders, and drivers alike.
Originally known for offering horse and carriage rides for various events and occasions, the company has now introduced a cart and horse-driving experience due to popular demand. You can even opt to include a delightful Ploughman's lunch as part of the experience.
Upon arrival, you'll be introduced to your host, the horse, and the traditional two-wheeler cart, which harks back to the 1800s when such carts were a common mode of transportation.
