Equestrian Services in Northumberland

Northumberland is England's least crowded county, with castles, open moorland and a beautiful coastline, which makes it a wonderful place to ride. Hexham Racecourse sits high above the Tyne Valley.

Where to ride in Northumberland
Northumberland National Park and Kielder Forest offer some of the most remote riding in England, with long forest and moorland tracks. The Cheviot Hills near the Scottish border are popular for trekking, and some beaches on the Northumberland coast are used by riders, though it is worth checking local rules first.

Riding schools, livery and lessons in Northumberland
Our Northumberland directory lists riding schools, livery yards, trainers and stables in places such as Alnwick, Morpeth, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Hexham and Ashington.
