Trail Rides in the Lake District

Our trail rides in the Lake District are a fantastic escape for more experienced riders.

On day one you will need to arrive at the stables for 10am,where we will introduce you to your horse and trek leader for the day, probably me.

There are several full day circular routes to choose from, with lunch stops at either a local farm house, or lovely picnic spots en route.The riding is varied with spectacular scenery; We follow bridleways and tracks, linked by the quiet country lanes around Selside, Whinfell, Patton & Skelsmere parishes.

Some of the day rides go across open fell land and down into Longsleddle Valley.All of the routes offer breath taking views and plenty of opportunities for a good canter or gallop, through open fields and on grassy tracks.
