About Us
Stonetrail is a BHS Approved Riding centre situated midway between Kirkby Stephen and Sedbergh in the Eden Valley on the border of Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales national park. We have a unique position at the foot of Wild Boar fell with immediate access in every direction to miles of bridleways making this one of the best off road riding locations in the UK. We are within minuets of the Pennine Bridleway which links us to the Eden Valley loops and close by we have wonderful riding trails through the Howgill fells and the Mallerstang Valley. The area is very peaceful and the scenery is stunning, we often ride for hours without seeing anyone. If you have never ridden in the Eden Valley before you will be amzed at the amount of riding we have on our doostep.
We are open throughout the year offering treks lasting 90 mins to a full day. We also offer long distance trail rides using the best bridleways in Cumbria and the Yorkshire days where we head off for a few days at a time.
Whilst we are not suitable for absoloute beginners you do not have to be an expert rider. An ability to walk and trot is all you need to enjoy a ride of up to 2 hours. We welcome riders who have not ridden for some time who will enjoy our "Get back in the Saddle rides" which are specially designed to help you regain your confidence. All our rides are ridden at a pace to suit the riders ability which may include short steady canters or a faster more challeging pace for experienced riders. If you are a new customer we will spend time discussing your experience and advise you which ride will be most suitable. Your ride experience is very important to us and for this reason we limit the number of customers per ride to just 6 because we know this works best.
