Local Attractions If you ever need a change of scenery after relaxing on your patio (eating and drinking can be so wearing) or after taking a cooling dip in the pool; or placing a deck chair under the willow by the lake……….you may feel the need to explore! We have cycle hire for the energetic and there are miles and miles of beautiful tracks known as chemins, and as we are in the heart of farming country you may meet the occasional tractor, or perhaps a couple of deer. You may decide to cycle to the village for lunch. There are plenty of options. If you like horse riding there are stables locally, or maybe you would just like to make friends with some of our own horses. Day tickets may be available if you are booked with a non fishing party (for experienced anglers please) This is just a small selection of the things to do in the local area. Love Golf ? Prepare to be spoilt! There are 10 courses to choose from in Limousin,
