On the south-westerly edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, three rivers – the Mellte, Hepste and Nedd-fechan – have carved their way through soft rocks to create steep wooded gorges full of caves and some of the most dramatic waterfalls.

What an amazing team at Pentre Riding Stables. My daughter has additional needs & was desperate to learn to ride, but lacked the confidence. These guys took her on & you wouldn't believe she's only been riding since the end of February. Kirsty & Karen are amazing with the kids, gaining their trust & their experience shines through. Their horses are absolutely stunning & bombproof & so well cared for, you can see they love what they do. From total novice riders through to experienced riders, they can accommodate any level. These guys really know their stuff & are amazing, along with the whole team there. They are one big happy family!

An amazing team, I can't praise Pentre Riding Stables enough!
