Urchinwood Manor, set in beautiful somerset countryside

Urchinwood Manor is a picturesque 17th Century Manor House surrounded by over 100 acres of pasture. Sally and Peter Hall started Urchinwood Manor back in 1979 and continue to run a successful Riding and Event Centre, that is approved by the British Horse Society.

We are able to offer excellent facilities, having had two Andrew Bowen surfaces in the indoor and outdoor arenas. Knowledgeable, friendly qualified staff provide tuition for all riders from beginners to advanced riders of any age in a safe environment.

Urchinwood also offers friendly livery on a full or working livery basis, and allows the livery owners the use of all the onsite facilities such as both arenas, cross country course, show jumps and dressage arenas.

Throughout the year we hold events. and encourage many of our clients to take part, whether it be Unaffiliated Dressage, Clear Round Cross Country or Unaffiliated One Day Event.
