Friendly horses, sociable pony treks and far-reaching Black Mountains views show the riding experiences available from Ellesmere near Llangorse.
See Llangorse Lake and the surrounding village from the saddle with Ellesmere Riding Centre, a small, family-run centre based at the edge of the lake since 1966.
Beginners, families and anyone returning to riding after a break can enjoy a steady pony trek at walk and trot. Half-day and full-day routes follow quiet lanes and open hillside, with views across the lake, while lead-rein pony rides offer younger children a simple introduction.
Experienced riders who are confident at canter can travel further into the hills on faster-paced mountain hacks and riding breaks. Options include half-day and full-day rides, mountain, moorland and forest days, and two or three-night packages with local accommodation, meals and guiding included.
All rides are accompanied by experienced guides. Age, experience and weight requirements vary by ride, and booking is by telephone or email, so contact Ellesmere directly to discuss the right option and check current availability.
