Aims
The aim of NBHBA is to promote and maintain the provision of safe off-road rights of way for Horse Riders, Pedestrians and Cyclists in the Norden, Bamford and Heywood areas of Rochdale, and, when appropriate surrounding areas.
This will be done by promoting the existing bridleways network and endeavour to ensure that they remain open and are rideable. In addition, by seeking the creation of further bridleways, to formally record existing rights of way on the Rochdale Definitive Map, ensuring the protection of these routes for future generations.
By doing this we aim to minimise the need for Horse Riders to use the main roads for riding and thus to reduce the risk of and occurrence of accidents involving vehicles and horses.
The Association is for the benefit of Members and Non-Members alike. We are an open and inclusive organisation and would encourage everyone to become members so that we can have the funds to make improvements to the Bridleway network in the Area.
