Timeline
15:44
Book a one-hour hack with Arniss Equestrian. This is the best way to see the horse country before the light fades. It is by appointment only, so you must arrange this in advance.
16:14
Finish your ride near The New Forest and walk 10 minutes WNW to Good Friday Hill. This is the closest viewpoint to your starting point and offers an open horizon to the west.
16:29
Watch the sun set toward the WSW from Good Friday Hill. The golden light begins at 15:33, so the sky will be dramatic as the sun dips below the horizon.
16:59
Walk back to Arniss Equestrian to collect your gear or finish your appointment. There are no food or drink shops nearby, so plan to eat before you start or after you return.
Local tip
The ride is by appointment only. You cannot just show up. Check the route for the narrow driveway marked by the wooden sign.
