Glenshiel Highland Pony Trekking Centre
About this yard
Glenshiel Highland Pony Trekking is a small family-run centre at Shiel Bridge, at the head of Loch Duich and the foot of the Five Sisters of Kintail. The Campbell family have been breeding Highland ponies in Glenshiel for over 100 years and some of the trekking ponies are direct descendants. Treks are customised to the group with a maximum of six riders, ranging from short rides along the loch shore to full-day rides into the hills.
Open May to September with bed and breakfast accommodation available on site. Spectacular setting on the road to Skye, 17 miles from the Skye crossing, 60 miles north of Fort William and 70 miles west of Inverness.
