Riding at Crook Barn
Making the most of your stay in the Lake District.
We believe we have some of the most scenic riding you will experience right on our doorstep and would like to share this with you, your family and friends. We do not take out large groups of riders so feel ours is a more personal service and often we can help expand your confidence and knowledge along the way.
We always take great care to ensure you are on the correct ride for your experience and ability. Please be honest with us. If you have a mixed group of riders please contact us to see how we may accommodate you together.
We are open all year round, fully insured and licensed. We can provide hats.
One hour ride £25.00 per person
This ride takes you to the old quarries above Torver. Usually booked by beginners and novice riders the ride will be walk or walk and trot. For those of you who are more experienced we’ll go further onto the fells or head for the commons and there will be an opportunity for canter.
One and a half hours £32.00 per person
Whether a novice or more experienced we’ll go that bit further. The ride will be through more open terrain. This is a popular ride for those having lessons wanting to extend their experience.
Two hours £40.00 per person
This ride is popular with experienced riders. There is lots of opportunity for canter across open country. Experienced two hour rides are not daily so it advisable to ring for details. Experienced rides are for competent riders and will not include novices.
Half Day £65.00 per person
At least three hours of riding across Torver Commons to Woodland. The terrain is challenging and you must be able to canter so therefore suitable for experienced riders only.
Full Days POA
You must be experienced at all paces and physically fit. The ride will be at least 5 hours with a stop for lunch. You will need to contact us in advance and full days are not available July and August.
Please note
It is important to arrive at least 20 minutes before your ride time as you will need to fill in a rider registration form.
Unfortunately we are unable to take children under the age of five.
Please wear long trousers and sensible shoes with a small heel.
We ride in the rain so if you don’t want to get wet then please don’t book a ride but ring on the day. Cancellations made because of rain will be charged in full.
Unless you inform of changes to your booking at least two hours before the ride time we reserve the right to charge in full.
We accept payment by cash or cheque.
