Horse Riding Centres & Trekking
We are extremely confident in our horse riding facilities. With well over 85km of bridleways, offering views from high up in the forests, and very little road riding, wouldn’t you be?
Throughout the valley there are routes to suit the absolute novice as well as more challenging paths for more competent riders.
Centres
There are purpose-built centres, ideal for beginners taking their
first lessons, and professionally-led treks through the heart of the countryside. Some cater for family riding holidays, with cosy log cabins and award-winning guesthouses.
