Call to bookAbout this yard
Flodden Edge Farm Riding and Driving Centre sits at Mindrum (TD12 4QG), on the site of the historic Flodden battlefield, where the 1513 Battle of Flodden was fought. The centre offers horse riding for all levels, from absolute beginners to experienced riders, alongside carriage driving lessons, training and carriage building. The setting near Wooler and the Scottish Borders puts riders within reach of the Cheviot Hills, the Northumberland Coast AONB and the Borders. Particularly useful for visitors who want the horse experience without riding (carriage rides accessible to non-riders, older guests, mobility-restricted visitors). On-site self-catering accommodation is available in the 18th-century, wheelchair-accessible Flodden Edge Farm Cottage, alongside horse holidays.
