What Can I Expect

Lovely horse drawn carriage rides in Yorkshire - with afternoon tea included! Enjoy a one or two-hour private carriage ride around a stunning private estate near Selby and tuck into a delicious afternoon tea treat too.

Your carriage awaits on the edge of the estate in Skipwith, a little village between Selby and York. You'll meet Gordon and his driving ponies there. You could be heading out on your ride with Otto, Arthur, Hercules or any of the other ponies all especially trained to work with carriages. Many of Gordon's charges are rescue ponies and they are adorable.

You will be riding in your carriage around the wonderful private estate. This extensive country estate has been run by the same family for generations. It's unique in the Yorkshire area in that the family offers private rideways for horse riders and horses and carriages.

That means no traffic, no public roads, just the clip clip of your stead, as you explore the many private tracks and trails around the fields and woodlands of this fine country estate. It really is one of the loveliest places imaginable in Yorkshire  to be in a horse drawn carriage.

In the fine weather your horse-drawn adventure will be in an open carriage. For those rides out in the crisp autumn air, there are enclosed carriages with rugs, cushions and even hot water bottles to keep you nice and cosy!

And don't forget, these horse drawn carriage rides around the Yorkshire Estate also include a delicious afternoon tea treat that can be served in your carriage or the tearoom. Buy your vouchers online now!
