Embley

Steel, Hexham, Northumberland, NE47 0HW

Situated deep in the heart of the glorious unspoilt Hexam Shire, Embley offers over 900 acres of grass and moorland riding within its own boundaries and immediate access to a huge network of ancient bridleways, fell and forestry tracks. Embley has a wide range of equestrian facilituies including barn style stabling, cross country fences and an outside arena. But this is not a livery stable or riding school, and it will appeal to all those who enjoy the freedom of riding in a completely relaxed, positive and knowledgeable environment. The farm is a wonderful place to bring your own horse, or ride one of the owner's horses by prior arrangement. With stunning views as far as the distant Cheviots (on a clear day!) and equally beautiful both summer and winter, Embley is a haven for wildlife and a paradise for bird lovers with nesting buzzards, golden plover, blackcock and grouse among the more spectacular residents. You could even see a red kite or a tawny owl. Come for a day or a week. Bed and Breakfast is widely available at neighbouring farms, parking is easy and there are three different packs of foxhounds within easy reach during the season.

Directions: Eight miles SW of Hexham; two miles south of the hamlet Whitley Chapel. Full directions and a simple map will be provided when you book.
