Somerset Hills Handicapped Riding Center, a North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA) Premier Accredited Center for Therapeutic horseback riding.

One of the charms of Tewksbury is the rural uninterrupted rolling hills with residential homes and farms. But still close proximity to neighboring towns and business such as Verizon, Merck, etc.

Transportation

Exit 24 of Interstate 78 leads into Tewksbury Township. New Jersey Transit train stations in Whitehouse Station or Raritan provide connecting service to Midtown Manhattan, Newark and Hoboken. New Jersey Transit bus lines from Whitehouse Station bring passengers to Midtown Manhattan's Port Authority. Direct to New York City commuters can take a NJ Transit train located about five minutes away at the Far Hills station, while Lakeland Bus provides service from nearby Bedminster or Pottersville to the Port Authority in midtown Manhattan.

Culture & Recreation in Readington

Tewksbury Township is full of horseback riding trails, many of which cross public roads. Residents know to proceed with caution at these trail crossings, and to drive slowly across the narrow roads, bridges, and hamlets throughout the area. The Tewksbury Trail Association maintains 100 miles of trails for equestrian use. On weekends, when traffic is light, bicyclists are drawn to local roadways for their scenic beauty.

While it retains its rural character, the township is less than a half hour from two large shopping malls in Bridgewater and Short Hills, supermarkets, restaurants, and movie theaters.
