Belwade Farm in Aberdeenshire can care for up to 65 horses and ponies, who you can meet during your visit. Our popular nature walks will take you through beautiful woodland and along the River Dee as it travels through Aberdeenshire.
From some high points you can see Lochnagar in the distance on a clear day. The longest walk covers five miles, but there are shorter routes! You’ll be able to get coffee and cake, or a tasty meal, from our Bistro and enjoy stunning views of Deeside from our decking.
The dedicated team caring for our horses and ponies at Belwade Farm consists of twelve of our grooms, working alongside external specialists. We take a whole-horse approach to the rehabilitation process, so our expert grooms work closely with the vet, farrier, Equine Dental Technician and physiotherapist to tailor each horse’s programme. Each of our grooms has their own list of horses and ponies, who they will be responsible for throughout the rehabilitation process. This helps ensure a consistent approach and allows each horse to develop a bond with their handler.
You can roam for miles across great estates, expanses of moorland, ancient Caledonian forests, rolling farmland, vast dunes, wide sandy beaches and expansive coastline.
Visit fairy-tale castles, explore culture in Aberdeen where ships dock right up against the city-centre streets and dolphins leap in the busy North Sea harbour.
Other attractions in Aberdeenshire include Balmoral Castle, Aberdeenshire Whisky Distilleries and the Coastal Trail.
