Horse Holidays at Liscombe Farm |
To ride a horse or pony whilst on holiday must be one of the best ways to appreciate the beauty and serenity of Exmoor's unrivalled landscape. Escorted rides for the novice or experienced rider take place on and hourly or daily basis, all year round. Or bring your own horse and enjoy glorious rides over open Exmoor moorland, with its picturesque, heather-covered hills and river valleys.
Liscombe has direct access to many gentle trails, picturesque bridleways that criss-cross the heather-covered moorland, or steeply wooded valleys that lead down to sparkling river valleys. Exmoor's character varies enormously throughout the seasons, making autumn and winter-time breaks just as special as summer ones.
The area is rich in wildlife and you may see the famous Exmoor ponies grazing on Winsford Hill, or catch a glimpse of the elusive wild red deer herds during your stay. The spectacular North Devon coast and wide sandy beaches of Woolacombe and Saunton Sands are a short drive to the North and the delightful town of Dulverton, headquarters of the National Park, is only four miles away.
