Trail Rides in the Lake District
Our trail rides in the Lake District are a fantastic escape for more experienced riders.
On day one we set off cross-country to the village of Stavely, where we stop for a leisurely lunch by the river Sprint, while our mounts graze.
Then off again up into Kentmere Valley. Once on the fell, after a paddle in the brook we follow the old drovers' trails crossing mountain streams through the heather and moorland. The scenery is breathtaking and varied.
Our destination for the night is a traditional farmhouse near the top of the valley.
On arrival at the farmhouse, afternoon tea awaits you as we turn the horses out for the night. Later, after you have settled in and perhaps taken a stroll around Kentmere,
stay is in a traditional Lake District farmhouse. We transport your luggage there and you will need basic toiletries, change of clothes for the evening, spare riding clothes, etc. Don't forget alcohol for the evening if you enjoy more than a few glasses of wine.
All fell routes are mapped with the local Mountain Rescue team and we carry first aid and mobile phones.
Price is £199.00 all-inclusive per person.
dinner will be served. The four course meals are delicious and the views out of every window are unbeatable.
On the second day we return home over the fell, you are on top of the world in the middle of nowhere, but the tracks are safe and easy going.
Open fell road, wooded bridleways and country lanes lead us quietly back home. We arrive back at the stables late afternoon for a drink before you return home.
Riders must be competent at trot and canter. Footwear with some grip is recommended for walking down the side of the fell. Due to ground conditions and the flies, Trail Rides are available May and September only. Trail Rides have a strict weight limit of 14 stone (89 kg).
