Dry valley at Dryden. A remarkable dry valley just below the farm. Dryden is a big equestrian establishment and riding school. It is just possible to make out some of the fencing at the top of the slope.

Lovely location, very friendly staff, great food and a comfortable stay. The property is a gem in the rough - the common areas present beautifully but the room was a bit tired (but still very comfy)
