Bespoke Experiences

A Bespoke Experience is Liberty Trails at its most personal. There are no set itineraries – only journeys tailored to you and curated by us. Every escape reflects who you are, how you ride, and how you wish to spend your time.

From the moment you arrive, the essentials are taken care of: transfers arranged, accommodation secured, routes prepared, dining planned. What unfolds is a seamless journey that feels effortless for you, yet has been carefully crafted behind the scenes.

The Ride

The horses are at the very heart of a Liberty Trails experience. You may bring your own horse, with stabling and expert care provided – and, if you wish, guidance from a local vet to ensure they are perfectly prepared for the moor. Or you may be carefully matched with a forward-going hunter type, the kind of bold, seasoned horse that makes Dartmoor riding such a thrill. Guests consistently describe them as a joy to ride, perfectly suited to the terrain.

Routes are chosen to balance exhilaration with discovery: long gallops across open moorland, quieter paths leading past Bronze Age relics and granite tors, and hidden corners that few ever reach. Every ride offers a different perspective on Dartmoor, and every moment in the saddle is designed to be unforgettable.

Your Stay

Your accommodation sets the tone for your escape. Stay in the private wing of a grand country house, with oak-panelled dining rooms and fireside suppers. Opt for the indulgence of a five-red-star hotel, where spa treatments and panoramic views offer restoration after the ride. Or reserve an exclusive estate for your party alone – the perfect setting for milestones and celebrations.

Wherever you stay, it becomes more than a place to rest. It’s part of the story: mornings that open onto sweeping moorland, evenings shaped by private chefs or curated wine pairings, and days that flow seamlessly from the exhilaration of the saddle to the comfort of home.

Beyond the Saddle

While riding may be at the heart of Liberty Trails, non-riders are welcomed with equal care. A Bespoke Experience ensures everyone finds their own rhythm. One guest may spend the day at Bovey Castle’s championship golf course – renowned as one of the most beautiful and challenging courses in Britain, designed to rival Gleneagles and Turnberry. Another may choose restorative spa treatments, country pursuits such as falconry, or even a helicopter flight over the tors for a new perspective on Dartmoor’s vast and ancient landscape.

Meals are woven into the journey – as carefully planned as the rides themselves, and set in places that make Dartmoor part of the table. These shared moments weave the day’s adventures into a single, unforgettable experience.

Robbie Anderson, USA

Wow what a fantastic long weekend I have just shared with Sara Cox , Liberty Trails ( Elaine and the magnificent team ) and my fellow riders ! From start to finish this is better than any Christmas Day feeling . The horses are top quality and so well cared for . My horse , Star , indulged me in some of the most exhilarating riding I have ever had as we picked our way across the moor , led by Amy and Michele - both excellent guides and horsewomen ! The care , camaraderie, humour , advice , food , hotel …. The list is actually endless . This is a first class experience and Sara Cox and her friend Els were the best company . We laughed , we cried , we screamed with excitement and I will never forget it . Elaine and team went out of their way to welcome us and ensure that we were left begging for more ! We were all so sad to leave . There will definitely be an encore and friendships made for life . Don’t second think this . Just book it . It’s like going into the back of the wardrobe and ending up in magical Narnia . Thank you Liberty Trails - we love you and will see you again soon xxx

Riding the Dartmoor Derby has been a dream three years in the making for me. Some dreams are worth the wait — it lived up to all the expectations that I had for it. Dartmoor is absolutely stunning, and the Derby was three days of exhilarating rides that I didn’t want to see end.

Stacey Stearns

A very big thank you for the most fabulous few days I’ve just spent with you all. I really wasn’t sure what to expect having never done a riding safari but it was all and more than I could have wished for. The riding was exhilarating and invigorating. The way you all work and what Liberty Trails offer is second to none.

Not only no hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle. I was very privileged, especially in these uncertain days of our continent, to spend extraordinary days in the Dartmoor riding with Elaine and her team. Letting your soul dangle and deriving new energy out of this lovely piece of earth can only be recommended from the bottom of my heart. The horses were most reliable with lovely gaits and very comfortable. The support provided by Liberty Trails is outstanding. I was very impressed with the superb organisation of our stay. All in all I must admit, Liberty Trails did a superb job which I have not previously experienced on a riding holiday!

Stephen Woolley

The Dartmoor Derby was a once-in-a-lifetime treat for me. It lived up to, and indeed, surpassed, all my expectations. I was given three gorgeous horses to ride who were all, fit, well-mannered and forward going, and I really enjoyed riding each one. They all coped with the challenging terrain of Dartmoor beautifully. Riding different horses each day was excellent and kept the challenge fresh. The complex logistics of each day felt calm and seamless. I loved meeting everyone in the whole group, and I hope I'll stay in touch with many of them in future. Being at Bovey Castle was the cherry on the cake, and it was wonderful to be able to swim and use the spa at the end of a long day's riding!

Charlotte Valori

Still wearing a grin from ear to ear after an exceptional weekend of galloping on Dartmoor. The horses were wonderful, my riding confidence has been restored, and I made new friends that I know will last a life time. Thank you Liberty Trails.

Claire Watson - Armstrong

We must say this was a trip of a lifetime. We are so grateful for you and all that you did to make it so special for us.

Robbie Anderson

Having just returned from this trip I cannot recommend it enough! It was simply the most amazing holiday I have ever had. Liberty Trails rolled out the red carpet for my arrival and created a bespoke tour for me in addition to riding on the moor. The horses are well seasoned, and a joy to ride, you will not be disappointed with any of the mounts. Elaine and Bob ensured that no detail was left unturned and the entire group (myself included) was already thinking about when they could book their next holiday with Liberty Trails!

Sarah Mayo

Stunning, Spectacular Dartmoor, the whole trip was organised to perfection, the attention to detail was incredible, Everything was organised like clockwork and nothing was too much trouble.

Tor Rodell

Wow! What a weekend!!! 'Thank you' doesn't really feel enough - the horse and house party was sheer magic! Huge thanks to Elaine for letting me ride her usual guide horse, Tri, who was completely amazing 🥰 Incredible scenery, beautiful, fit and deeply loved horses, a lovely house in which to relax, wonderful company, and delicious food. Massive thanks to everyone, especially Elaine, Amy, Bob, Sue (and Boris ❤). Have booked to return...
