THE re-opening of a bridleway near Brackley will raise money for a village church.

The ten-mile bridleway, which runs through countryside around Turweston, Biddlesden and Wood Green, will be the route for a sponsored horse ride on Saturday, May 5.

The Turweston Aerodrome and Grafton Hunt Cross Country Ride is open to all ages and abilities and money raised will be donated to the hunt and to St John the Evangelist Church, Whitfield.

Riders who raise the most sponsorship money in their category will receive a trophy.
