Downs House Farm – Ginge – Berks and Bucks Draghounds

Line Manager : Victoria Ruffy

Address : Downs House Farm, Ginge, Wantage, OX12 8QT.

Directions: If coming from Reading / Didcot / Steventon direction on the A417 Reading Road the turning to The Greenway is on your left opposite The Hare Public house. If coming from Wantage on the same road it will be on your right. Proceed straight along The Greenway which turns into Ginge Road. Haybarn is around a mile and half along the road on the left.

Parking Directions: The farmyard on the left just past the house “Haybarn” is where we will be parking. Please park sensibly not blocking any entrances. The WhatThreeWords point is the centre of the farmyard but please make use of all space with first people attending parking towards the back.
Please ensure all droppings are picked up and taken with you. There must be no mess left at the farmyard.

Description: This is a Meet full of long gallops up and down hills on turf around a beautiful family farm. We also cross the East Hendred Estate using tracks and bridleways with a long gallop up to the Ridgeway before returning to the farm.

We have plenty of timber and logs to jump which are all optional fences.

This meet offers a fantastic opportunity to view hounds working and is suitable for all levels of riding but you must be able to keep up whilst cantering in a group.

A day with spectacular views is promised!
