Tor Royal Trekking Stables at Princetown sits on top of Dartmoor near Dartmoor Prison. Family-run, with trekking across open moorland and lunch rides stopping at moorland pubs. Visitors can groom their pony under expert guidance before riding. Rides pass historic sites including Fox Tor Mire and along the Tinners Way. Locations along the route featured in the filming of Steven Spielberg's "War Horse" and Sherlock Holmes' "Hound of the Baskervilles". Dartmoor weather is highly changeable, so a waterproof is essential year-round.
