With more than five miles of wide carriage paths bordered by woods, Appleton Farms Grass Rides was originally designed for horseback riding. Like a wagon wheel, five "rides" (an English term for carriage path) meet in a central clearing called the "Roundpoint," where a large granite pinnacle salvaged from the demolition of the former Harvard College Library stands as a silent sentry.
