For a hack with a difference, join us on one of our pub horse rides, which encompass bridle paths, forest, woods, and stewardship fields encountering some of the prettiest scenery in Kent. There's nothing better than a drink on the hoof as a well-earned pit stop! We have many traditional country pubs within easy hacking distance from the stables.
The Duck Inn, Pett Bottom, near the riding stables is one of the country’s most picturesque inns, nestling deep in the heart of Pett Bottom valley surrounded by lush, green fields, The Duck has many claims to fame and can trace its history to 1623 in the reign of James I.
In more recent times, it was one of the ‘locals’ of the James Bond author, Ian Fleming, who used to sit in The Duck’s beautiful gardens, where he found inspiration for some of the Bond adventures. The Duck itself has its own mention in the Bond story, You Only Live Twice, which was turned into a highly successful film.
