GLENDALOUGH HOUSE EQUESTRIAN

Nestled within the heart of the 1,500 acre estate grounds of rolling parkland, pastures and woodlands, and situated in the Wicklow Mountains only 40 minutes drive from Dublin City along the main road to Glendalough

Glendalough House Equestrian is four-legged fun!

Glendalough House, which has long been synonymous with outdoor activities and equitation, is excited to announce Glendalough House Equestrian as its newly refurbished riding facility. The centre fosters a caring passion for horses in all age groups by developing technical, physical and artistic expertise in a creative environment using proven educational frameworks.

Trek Pricing

The Glendalough House grounds offer some of the most beautiful scenery and spectacular views in the Garden of Ireland. To take advantage of these settings and to add to the sense of occasion that a trek at Glendalough House Equestrian affords, the Picnic Trek Experience has been put together to give riders time to relax and unwind in the idyllic surroundings whilst enjoying our ‘Brown Bag Lunch’ comprising a choice menu of sandwiches, water, fruit and a desert.

The Picnic Trek Experience can be booked at the same time as a trek or can be ordered at a later date, but needs a minimum of 24 hours prior notice to arrange and is supplementary to any trek.
