Suitable for everybody

Wheal Buller Riding School is set within the World Heritage site of the Mineral Tramways, and in an area of outstanding natural beauty, with panoramic views extending to the sea. We are located in a part of Cornwall where it is just 11 miles from the North to the South coast. We are one mile from the historic tin mining town of Redruth. This rural setting, amid quiet fields and rugged hills, provides a relaxing retreat from the pressure of work and daily life.

Our riding holidays are ideally suited for single adults of who we have a fairly high proportion, no one ever feels left out and we don’t charge any extra for single occupancy of a room. We can also cater for groups of adults and families. If you are seeking a relaxing fun holiday with horses we are sure that you will appreciate the warm, friendly atmosphere.

We are just one and a half miles from the small tin mining town of Redruth which has Inter city bus and railway stations and we are happy to collect you from here free of charge. Taxis can also be arranged to collect you from Newquay Airport which has daily flights from the major cities. In Redruth there is an assortment of shops where you should be able to buy all you may need, there is also a selection of country pubs for a quiet drink in the evening.
