Argyll Trail Riding and Castle Riding Centre were established by expert horsewoman Tove Gray-Stephens 25 years ago, and has grown to become one of the most renowned trail and riding centres in Britain. Being in Argyll, it offers truly memorable holidays amid some of the most wonderful scenery in Britain.

Come and join Tove and her son David for a ride in the hills above Brenfield on well-trained and reliable horses. Beginner or advanced, you will be entranced at how much more of the wonderful Argyll scenery you can see from horseback. Discover the splendour of the West Highlands of Scotland! Ride over Bens and through glens, ford rivers and burns and even ride out along the shore to the sea. Everything from an hour's ride to a full day pub ride, family holidays, weekend breaks and corporate events are available. Training and tuition in all things equestrian including the up and coming sport of Le Trec. You could try your hand at clay pigeon shooting also with expert tuition for the complete beginner or the expert.

For those who are more experienced riders there are three exciting and challenging trails available. The week-long Wild Boar Trail takes you through spectacular Dalriada, birthplace of the Scottish nation. You will explore historic sites and old castles, gallop across beaches, swim with the horses and climb mountains. The Rob Roy Trail, which again lasts one week, follows in the footsteps of Rob Roy McGregor and takes you from Inveraray Castle to the foothills of Ben Nevis, passing through historic Glencoe on the way. The Loch and Forest Trail lasting six days follows ancient drove roads as you discover hidden Argyll. In the evenings good food in comfortable inns and hotels is provided along the way.

The centre is fully licensed and approved by all leading equestrian organisations, the staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgable.

Argyll Trail Riding and Castle Riding Centre is on the coast just south of Lochgilphead, only two hours drive from Glasgow.
