How the permit works
Before you set off to explore Stowe's trails, you will need to apply for a permit. With this you'll be provided with a map. New members to the scheme will need to purchase a tabard, whilst existing members will need to renew their permit annually. Applications are now open for our 2022 Permit Scheme.
We kindly ask all riders to ring in advance if you're intending to bring a horse box. We can then advise if parking is available in our coach park at the New Inn.
