Black Mountains Trail


Black Mountains Trail
Wales Wales

For more than 25 years our partner and his sons have been leading this ride through wonderful mountain landscapes, mysterious bogs, dense forests and clear rivers. In the morning you fetch your horse from the meadow and ride on guided tours on ever-changing routes on 6 days of progressively more challenging trail riding exploring the wild reaches of the Black Mountains. This relatively undiscovered area of high moorland is set between the picturesque Wye and Usk valleys, providing some of the best cross-country riding to be found anywhere in the UK.
Each day we take a different route, covering between 8 and 18 miles a day, stopping for lunch at one of the traditional village inns along the way. As with all of our rides, you'll get to experience a range of terrain and pace, and as we return to the farm each evening, you'll also have the chance to try out different horses if you'd like to.
Evenings are spent enjoying Maria's splendid home-cooked food, and guests are free to relax around the cosy fire or visit the local pub. On one night during the week, guests eat out at a local inn or restaurant – Abergavenny and the surrounding area is becoming justifiably famous for quality food, and we're able to advise on some great places to eat.
Guests arrive on Saturday evening and get to know one another over dinner. Over the course of the week, the rides will increase in distance, speed and challenge, but as always our keyword is flexibility, and our staff are always on hand to ensure your ride is safe, enjoyable and exciting. You'll finish the week a much more confident, relaxed and knowledgeable rider.
