About Park Foot Pony Trekking
Park Foot Pony Trekking offers guided horseback rides through the stunning fell country above Ullswater, one of the Lake District's most beautiful and unspoilt lakes. Based at Park Foot Holiday Park on Howtown Road near Pooley Bridge, they provide a relaxed and friendly trekking experience suitable for riders aged four and above, from complete beginners to experienced equestrians looking for a scenic ride.
Their fell treks head up into the hills above Ullswater, following ancient bridleways with sweeping panoramic views across the lake and surrounding mountains. Rides are available in durations from one hour to longer half-day outings, with ponies carefully matched to each rider's size and experience level. All necessary equipment including riding hats is provided, and their well-trained fell ponies are calm and sure-footed on the rugged terrain.
The setting above Ullswater is what makes Park Foot Pony Trekking truly special — the views from the fell paths are among the finest in the Lake District, and the experience of riding through this landscape on a native Lakeland pony is something visitors remember long after their holiday. The friendly family team ensures everyone feels safe and comfortable, making it one of the most popular outdoor activities in the Ullswater area.
