What you get
A warning while there’s still room to react, then “Now, turn left” at the turn. A UK voice you can change in Settings.
Download the map before you box up. Riders have completed whole loops on BridleNav with no phone signal at all.
Colour-coded by how well we know it. Filter to what’s within ten miles of you, or search by name.
A 3D fly-through of the whole route over real terrain, so you know what you’re asking of your horse before the trailer is hitched.
Where to park, with a postcode and a what3words square — plus height and length restrictions before you tow somewhere you can’t turn round.
Road crossings, gates, boggy stretches, and the two houses where the dogs come at the fence. The things a local would tell you.
If a gate is padlocked or the bracken has swallowed a path, the warning reaches your app straight away. You don’t wait for an update.
Found a locked gate or a turn we got wrong? Report it from the route in about ten seconds. It comes straight to us, and if it stands up it becomes a warning every other rider sees.
The community map
Forty-one routes will never cover the country. The bridleways you ride most are known by you and a handful of others, and they aren’t written down anywhere.
So BridleNav lets you record a ride and send it in. No files to wrestle with — you ride it, then at home you write the turn-by-turn directions in your own words and mark the gates, the water and the livestock. Those words are what the app reads aloud to the next rider.
Every submission is read before it goes live. Put your name to it or don’t — that’s your choice, and you can trim the start and finish so a route never begins at your own yard.
