Equestrian Venues in Kent

Kent's equestrian offer spans the chalk ridgeline of the North Downs, the deep clay vale of the Weald and the hop garden country running east toward the coast. The North Downs Way provides long-distance riding across open downland with views south to the sea, while the Weald's quieter lanes and bridleways suit riders who prefer covered country. Kent supports an established dressage and showjumping circuit, with well-regarded competition venues between Maidstone, Tonbridge and Ashford. The county's proximity to the European continent via the Channel Tunnel makes it accessible to international competition riders. Racing venues at Folkestone and the Point-to-Point circuit contribute to a varied equestrian calendar.
