Horse Riding at Brancaster Beach
Brancaster is a picturesque spot for riding along the beach. To keep you and others safe at our very busy times, there are some restrictions as to when we welcome horse riders. From May to September, we ask that you don’t ride on weekends, bank holidays and school holidays between the hours of 9am to 6pm. This will help you and those around you to have a safe and enjoyable visit. If you have any questions about your upcoming visit, please contact us at brancaster@nationaltrust.org.uk.
