Mary Towneley Loop
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mary Towneley Loop, is a 47 mile (68 km) circular route which forms part of the Pennine Bridleway National Trail, along the borders of Lancashire and Yorkshire.
It is named in memory of Mary, Lady Towneley, who drew attention to the poor state of England's bridleways and the need for a long-distance route for horse-riders by riding with two friends in September 1986 from Hexham in Northumberland to Ashbourne in Derbyshire. She died in 2001.
