Bring your horse on holiday.

Luckett farm is set in 20 acres of enclosed private land in Knowstone North Devon, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), and on the doorstep of Exmoor National Park. Luckett Farm is a location like no other and perfect for that getaway with your horse or horses.

Imagine waking up each morning knowing your favourite travel companion is in the field in front of Tumbledown Barn where you’ll be staying in your 5 star accommodation. You can enjoy your morning Nespresso coffee on the patio with your horse nearby in the stables or picturesque fields whilst you plan the day ahead. You’ll have outstanding views across the valley of rolling hills and the village of Knowstone.

Local Riding

There is plenty to do with your horse whilst staying at Tumbledown Barn, in the immediate there are the local lanes, tracks, bridleways and through open-access fields.

Beaches

You can ride your horses on some of our amazing North Devon beaches. We recommend Saunton Sands (access for horse riding at Crow Point) and Putsborough/Woolacombe. Both beaches have miles of golden sand, perfect for horse riding. These beaches are about a 30/40 minute drive from Luckett Farm.

Exmoor

Whether you’re a seasoned rider or it would be your first time in the saddle, we think by horseback is one of the very best ways to take in the stunning Exmoor surrounds.  The vast open space means of course there are opportunities to ride across the region, exploring new landscapes and enjoying the serenity of endless adventure!

Get up close and personal with some of Exmoor’s most famous inhabitants – our friendly Exmoor Ponies.  At the Exmoor Pony Centre you can try riding for the first time in safe and secure surroundings or more experienced riders can enjoy a breathtaking hack across the moorland.

Exmoor Maps & Routes

We have OS maps and some recommended routes by Philippa Verry. The author Philippa Verry  says “Having spent 12 years hacking and hunting on Exmoor, it’s a wild and beautiful place I have grown to love,” she writes. “At every opportunity I have been exploring new rides, certainly with some adventures along the way. My motivation is the thrill of being able to share these experiences with others in my most favourite place, Exmoor.”

Philippa has lived with the effects of thalidomide since birth, as she was born with no arms. However, she has never seen herself as a disabled person, as she has never made any concessions for her lack of arms.

This collection is very practical. It is assembled in a waterproof plastic ring binder, so that you can remove each of the 12 rides rather than taking the whole folder on your adventure.

Each ride has an initial page outlining the distance and duration, as well as the level. Philippa has chosen three grades, one being straightforward with less strenuous hill work, up to three, which requires a fit horse for challenging hill work and longer distances.
