The trekking centre is situated in the north east cost of the Isle of Arran in a village called Sannox, from Brodick ferry terminal it’s approx. 8 miles via the North east cost route.
This friendly family run centre caters for the beginner to experienced riders. The horses and ponies are all quiet safe mounts. Up to two hour treks are available through the picturesque Glen Sannox where deer, eagles and falcons abound. Whilst on the beach rides, seals and basking sharks can also be seen, so if you fancy a lazy day at seeing some of the most beautiful sits on Arran I would suggest you go on a trek at Sannox.
There is also a 1-hour trek. You aren’t as likely to see as much wildlife but it is still worth while going on.
The center is approved by T.R.S.S
Prices
1 hour trek costs £15 per person
2 hour trek costs £28 per person
£4 pony rides for 3-5 year olds
