Pipestave Hill and Mill Pond
We are fortunate to have an equestrian area that is open to the public for all to enjoy. West Newbury’s Pipestave Hill and Mill Pond is a town-owned, multi-use public area.
It is the largest trail network in West Newbury consisting of 270 acres of marked and maintained multi-use trails (hiking, running, mountain biking, and dog walking), two equestrian riding rings (one sand footing, the other grass), an equestrian cross-country course with jumps of various levels of difficulty, a pond for swimming, non-motorized boating, and horse and dog wading, and public athletic fields.
If you would like to know more of how we came to have such a jewel in West Newbury, visit our History page.
