Brockwell Farm - Wootton Courtenay
Situated in a fantastic position for outriding, with five bridleways rotating out from the farm, leading out across Exmoor National Park. Brockwell Farm, whilst a working farm, can offer accommodation for your horse, with accommodation for you at the nearby Dunkery Beacon Hotel.

Dunkery Beacon, Grabbist Hill, Wootton Courteney, Dunster Deer Park, Timberscombe Common - all places that are the stuff of riding dreams. Yet each of these glorious riding areas is easily accessible from Brockwell Farm. If you leave the stable yard, the next gate is at Aldersman Barrow - about six miles away! And look out for the magnificent buzzards, which nest in the trees around the farm and can be seen soaring overhead daily. Several herds of red deer live within a mile of the farm and some can generally be seen on a ride.
