Appleton Farms

Rolling grasslands, grazing livestock, stone walls, and historic farm buildings are part of this pastoral landscape a rare glimpse into New England's agricultural past. Six miles of footpaths, bridle paths, and farm roads (easy walking), some of which are part of the Bay Circuit Trail, crisscross the farm. We ask that you stay on marked paths and roads, observing which are for pedestrians and which for equestrians. Green Horse permits are required for horseback riding at Appleton Farms. You can also walk at the adjacent Appleton Farms Grass Rides.
