About this yard

Grange Pony Trekking has been operating in the Black Mountains above Abergavenny for over 60 years, making it one of the longest-established trekking centres in Wales. The centre holds WTRA (Welsh Trekking and Riding Association) approval and offers guided rides through some of the finest mountain and valley terrain in the Brecon Beacons National Park. On-site accommodation, bed and breakfast rooms and glamping, makes Grange a popular destination for riding breaks, with guests able to combine multi-day treks with an overnight stay. Routes vary by ability and experience, and riders of all levels are welcome. The centre is particularly well regarded for its ponies and horses, chosen for their surefootedness on upland terrain.
