Riding Holidays | Isles of Scilly - England

The Isles of Scilly are located off the South-Western tip of the British Isles, an archipelago composed of 5 inhabited islands, amongst many other rocky formations.

When presented with the sparkling blue waters and beautiful sheltered bays and beach coves of the Isles of Scilly, you’ll probably think you’ve landed somewhere in the Mediterranean! Exploring this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on horseback is the perfect way to escape the crowds and get in tune with the relaxing rhythm of the islands in the idyllic surroundings. Beach riding is offered in abundance, and you and your horse may even want to paddle in the serene shallow waters. St Mary’s Riding Centre, the only equestrian centre in the Isles of Scilly, offers beach rides on the fantastic Pelistry beach and also hacks along coastal bridleways and peaceful lanes.
