Horseriding

Beginners and more experienced horse riders all agree that riding across Dartmoor is hard to beat. You can ride out on the open moor - provided that it's common land - trot along woodland trails and bridleways, or follow in the hoofprints of ancient medieval traders along historic byways linking towns and villages. If you don't have your own horse, or you're a novice in the saddle, there are first-class stables offering you a good horse, tuition and an experienced guide.
