  • From the East Riding Equestrian Centre, Stoney Carr, turn left along the lane.  After a short distance, take the waymarked bridleway (clay track) to your left (GR.864322) and ride to the canal. 
  • Turn left (GR.851317) and ride to the bridge.  Cross the canal via the bridge and ride straight ahead westwards for 1½ miles along quiet lanes.  At the T-junction (GR.831306) by the caravans, turn right, signposted Sandholme.  Ride a short distance and take the next left turn (GR.829308) into the village.  After passing the telephone box, bear left and then right to ride past the glasshouses which are along a lane with good verges.
  • Ride for about two miles to Eastrington.  In Eastrington take the first turning left (GR.797301) and ride until you have crossed the railway level crossing.  Take the first lane on the right (GR.802293) after the level crossing, which is a waymarked bridleway, and pass Bridge Farm.  This lane continues in a straight line for a little over one mile.  It becomes grass and as you follow it you will pass through a gate and arrive at Saltmarshe Grange.
  • Ride straight ahead through the farm and, after the last cottage, turn right (GR.788288).  Ride for almost one mile along a grassy bridleway with hedges.  When you come to the road, turn right (GR.784298) and cross the road bridge over the railway line.  Ride past the entrance to the picnic area and turn left up the bridleway.  At the crossroad of tracks turn right (GR.787301) and ride to the village.  (You can see the church quite clearly, from the crossroads of tracks.) 
  • At the corner of the road, turn left (GR.794303) and ride until you come to Tudor-style timbered houses.  Turn right along the waymarked bridleway, which takes you up the drive of Grange Court Estate.  Ride straight up the drive and go through the white gates. 
  • At the next lane turn left (GR.800311) and then turn right at a planting of trees, still following the waymarkers.  Ride this delightful winding grass road to old farm buildings on the right.  Here you track left, then right, and then straight ahead to a T-junction in the tracks.  Turn left and then take the first turn right. Again you will encounter a delightful grass road.  Ride straight ahead to a lane (GR.827313) by a new house.  Turn right and ride to the village.  Turn left and the road bears right, signposted Gilberdyke.  Follow the signpost and take the next left by the caravans.  Retrace your steps back to your starting point.

Features of Interest
Enjoy the lovely 'green lanes' to be found along sections of this ride.
Eastrington, part of the Howden manor, passed to the bishops of Durham in 1080. When the Domesday survey was compiled in 1086, there was one church listed in the Howden manor, at Howden, but it seems likely that by then Eastrington already had a small chapel as in 1146 Eastrington was mentioned as a chapel of Howden. The church is difficult to date from its architecture as there is some conflicting evidence.
