Horse Riding, Whinfell Forest

Center Parcs is the perfect place to learn to ride a horse.


Choose an activity from the list above to find out more about it.

Horse Logging

Horse Logging takes you back to the time when timber was hauled from forests using horses. A unique opportunity to enjoy a hands on experience working with a horse from the ground, you'll get to know your horse as you learn to work with a harness. Under supervision, you'll be given the reins to guide the horse round an obstacle course. You'll then repeat the course but this time while the horse is hauling a log - without knocking over the obstacles! It's a lot trickier than it looks and an experience not to be missed.
