The Black Mountains are a relatively undiscovered area of high moorland set
between the picturesque Wye and Usk valleys, providing some of the best across
country riding to be found in the UK. Add the native Welsh Cob horse, and you
have perfect combination for the ideal riding holiday.
During the course of the week, we will show you the way to ride over open
country, hills, valleys, woodland and moorland. We travel six different routes
from Cwmfforest farmhouse, riding between 8 and 18 miles a day, usually lunching
at one of the friendly and comfortable inns in the local villages of Cwmdu,
Talgarth, Felindre, Llangorse and Bwlch.
Returning to the farm each evening, we care for the horses before a well earned
cup of tea, shower, glass of wine, and a delicious three course dinner. For
those with extra energy, the evening may be rounded off with a visit to the
local pub for a pint or two of traditional Welsh ale!
