Riding Holidays | Devon - England

The county of Devon lies in the heart of South West England, with stunning stretches of coastline alongside vast areas of wild moorland. Horseback riding is an integral part of rural life in Devon and the fantastic countryside is every rider’s dream.

Devon is home to two national parks – Exmoor and Dartmoor – best explored in the saddle. Hacking across the untamed heaths and among the natural springs gives horse and rider a sense of freedom and peace, perfect for relaxation and spotting local wildlife such as the native moor ponies. If you’re looking for a more energising riding experience then head to the distinctive North Devon coast, where you can gallop for miles along clean beaches and golden sand dunes.

There are endless amounts of equestrian centres providing unforgettable riding holidays in the unique Devon countryside.
