About this yard

Cholwell Riding Stables has been running for nearly 40 years on the western edge of Dartmoor at Mary Tavy, near Tavistock. The yard is family-run and offers escorted rides on the open moor alongside lessons in the school, with horses matched to rider ability. Bookings are taken by phone; the email address is for non-urgent enquiries only. The setting gives riders direct access to one of the most varied moorland landscapes in the south of England.
