What we do

MBBA is one of the most proactive Bridleway Associations in the UK, dedicated to creating and maintaining safe routes for riders, walkers and cyclists in the Mendip area. 


We are affiliated to the British Horse Society and an entirely voluntary association.  As a voluntary association, all money raised through Membership Subscriptions, events and fundraising goes to improving and creating riding routes in Mendip. It is time for all riders to take on the responsibility of ensuring the future of off road riding. The MBBA has has funded over £75,000 worth of improvements to routes across Mendip in the last 8 years.


Your support as a member is essential to the future of the MBBA and enables our work to continue. Please join today – it is just £15.00 per annum and gives big benefits to members. 

All money raised from memberships, events and fundraising goes directly to improving bridleways across Mendip
