Walks
There are seven themed orienteering walks from the Quinta da Moita Longa: six shorter routes in and around the old royal forest and one longer route where the country and seaside tracks trace the story of Pedro and Inês – accessible to everyone.

Larger Route: An orienteering course of up to 60 kilometres that can be completed in five kilometre stages over several days using maps and compasses.

Shorter Route: Six courses of around 3.5 kilometres each using maps and compasses.

Walkers are accompanied by a guide.

NB: Both longer and shorter routes acquaint walkers with the places most representative of the former presence of Pedro and Inês on Lourinhã’s soil, where their first three children were born.

Horseback Rides
There are two distinct courses of around 20 kilometres, made with guide, lasting around three hours each.

Cart Rides
A tour of around 16 kilometres can be made in one or more horse-drawn carts with guide, lasting about 2 hours.

Cart and horse rides traverse mountains and valleys with dazzling views over the sea and along mountain ridges, acquainting you with the very first reflections of the regional presence of the Knights Templar, as well as the viticulture of Lourinhã Brandy, which competes with Cognac and Armagnac among the three dedicated brandy producing regions of Europe.

The bridle paths follow the theme of the Knights Templar and were adopted for tourism at the recent discovery of clear evidence of this Order’s presence in the town of Sao Bartolomeu (Saint Bartholomew ) and the Quinta da Moita Longa.

On leaving the Quinta via the ancient “cavalry highway” as identified in the Torre do Tombo (Tower of the Tomb), on arriving at the nearest village, we enter the “royal highway” and pass around the town of Sao Bartolomeu where there are sunken, and a few uncovered, gravestones of cavaliers of the Order of the Temple.
