Park Foot Pony Trekking
About this yard
Park Foot Pony Trekking sits at the top of Park Foot Holiday Park near Pooley Bridge, on the quiet eastern side of Ullswater. Established for over 30 years and one of the most recognised trekking centres in the Lake District. The yard accesses the fells directly from the stables, no road work, and rides give some of the best views of Ullswater from the heights above the lake. Suitable for riders aged 4 and above. Strict 13-stone weight limit for horse welfare. Open end of March to mid-November. All treks are walk-only on the fells due to terrain.
