Riding on Dartmoor at Skaigh Stables

Dartmoor is England's largest wilderness, and on horseback is a fabulous way to see it. Skaigh Stables will take you off the tarmac roads and onto the moor.







It's ideal for intrepid and adventurous riders. The scenery varies dramatically, from wild and remote granite tors to gentle purple heather and yellow gorse-covered slopes.




You can book a morning or afternoon ride (arrive for 9.40 or 13.40, lasts 2 hours and cost £36 in 2008) or a pub ride to take you 20 miles or so (arrive for 9.40 and get back about 16.30, cost £60 in 2008 plus buy your lunch). If you want something different, you can ride by the hour for £18.

Children must be 8yrs or over and accompanied. There are also lots of good walks around Belstone for non riders - and a handy village pub!

Getting there: Belstone is about 16 miles from our ecolodges and cottage, on the northern edge of Dartmoor.

Bold Try riding stables

Just a few miles from our cottage and ecolodges you'll find Bold Try stables, on the outskirts of Chulmleigh.




Whether you're a learner like Holly here or a experienced rider, they'll look after you well. They're cheaper than stables on Dartmoor and know lots of local rides. Some of our guests have come back specifically to ride here again. Telephone 01769 580366.

But if you do want to ride on Dartmoor, try Skaigh Stables.
