Centre Based riding holidays are spent in one location, riding out in different directions each day and returning to the same accommodation each night.
This type of holiday is a great choice for someone who is concerned about their riding fitness or would prefer fewer hours riding. Another advantage of being centre based is that you can choose not to ride every day, so you can take a break to relax or explore the local area. This makes it ideal for non riders too. They can participate in more aspects of the holiday as often there are often more activities on offer than just riding.
Hours in the saddle vary and often you can often book more riding on site.
