A fully hosted, three-night escape for women who ride boldly and live beautifully — where wild rides meet five-star luxury in the heart of Dartmoor.
A fully hosted, three-night escape for women who ride well and choose carefully.
Two days in the saddle. Three nights of five-star luxury. Massages. Moorland. Easy laughter. Unforgettable company.
Come solo or with a friend. Many arrive as strangers and leave as lifelong
We don’t do retreats. We host soul-stirring experiences.
Liberty Trails is for accomplished riders who want more — more freedom, more depth, more beauty. We take care of everything. You show up, take the reins, and breathe again.
Because your downtime deserves as much intention as your ride. Nestled in Dartmoor National Park, Bovey Castle is a five-star sanctuary of elegance, warmth and true hospitality.
You ride well. You move fast. You’re ready to take a weekend for yourself — to ride hard, sleep deeply and savour the stillness in between.
This weekend is curated for confident, competent women riders, many from London and other cities, seeking space to reconnect — with nature, with others, and with themselves.
Places are limited — and in demand. We keep this intimate so every woman is genuinely looked after, in the saddle and around the table.

What Our Guests Say:
“It was everything I didn’t know I needed – the riding, the laughter, the serenity of Dartmoor. I came alone, soon made friends, and left recharged. I’ll never forget sipping a sundowner on the top of a Tor as the sun dipped down”
