[Vocabulary] This village is only 2 hours ride away

[Marina Gaidar]

Is it correct to say like this "This village is only 2 hours ride (I mean by horse) away"?

Thanks in advance

 

[Tdol]

I'd use The/this village is only two hours' ride away/from here. (Note the apostrophe)

 

[emsr2d2]

The village is only a two-hour ride from here.
The village is only two hours' ride from here.

As you can see, the use of "two hours" changes depending on the construction.

Two hours on the back of a horse doesn't sound like an "only" situation to me.
