About the trip
Date:
Sun 16 August 2026
Destination:
Llangollen
Step back in time and slow your pace with a horse-drawn boat trip along the beautiful Llangollen Canal. There’s no engine noise here — just the gentle clip-clop of hooves, the soft splash of water, and peaceful views of the lush Welsh countryside. It’s the perfect way to unwind, enjoy fresh air, and soak in the scenery at a very relaxed tempo.
After your serene cruise, settle in for a classic afternoon tea — think freshly baked scones, tasty sandwiches, and sweet treats served with plenty of charm. It’s a traditional British treat, but with the added bonus of having earned it after a gentle journey on the water.
Whether you’re seeking a peaceful escape, a nostalgic outing, or simply a chance to enjoy good company and great food, this day ticks all the boxes — with plenty of time to relax and soak it all in.
Your day includes…
- A leisurely horse-drawn boat trip from Llangollen Wharf
- Time to enjoy the stunning canal-side views and wildlife
- A delicious afternoon tea served nearby, with all the trimmings
- Comfortable coach travel there and back — no parking worries!
- Friendly guides to help make the day smooth and special
