We are located in the Whicham Valley, in the South West corner of the Lake District National Park. This gorgeous little valley is an undiscovered gem, with great views across to Coniston, Duddon, and into the heart of the Lake District, but without the crowding of the Central Lakes it remains a wonderful, quiet area to ride.

Cumbrian Heavy Horses has a past history of riding through open countryside, over difficult and undulating terrain, of being slightly adventurous in our outlook! Whilst based on the Isle of Skye we developed some amazing rides into valleys which were not usually accessed by horse, giving our riders a true wilderness experience! Having left Skye in September 2006 we chose to ride all the way down here, (on “The Great Clydesdale Migration”) giving us, as people and as a business, a real insight into how such journeys work, enabling us to introduce our first week long holiday ride within our first year of opening.

Last summer, 2008, we ran three week long rides which were well subscribed, and enabled us to gather some great feedback from the riders to improve upon what we are offering. We asked about having a half day off in the middle (which was scorned -“I want to ride!!”) and everyone wanted to learn enough about the daily horse care to assist with the preparation on a daily basis, so we now spend time on the first day and back this up throughout the ride, so our riders not only have a great experience but learn loads too!!
